High-Performance CD/DVD Printer with Single Ink System

Dieburg, March, 2007 – LSK Data Systems, manufacturer of professional CD/DVD duplicators and print stations, is presenting a high-performance CD/DVD printer at the CeBIT trade show in Hannover. The fast and economical printer is the optimal solution for industrial users wanting to produce high volumes in a professional quality while keeping unit prices and operating costs low.

The ODP 500 is based on the approved Hewlett Packard High-End Office Jet printing technology and is available in-line with the LSK CD/DVD duplicator and printer robotic systems. The ODP 500 uses the Thermo Inkjet procedure to print CD/DVD labels in four colors (CMYK) in a fast and cost-efficient way. With its print speed from ten seconds up to a maximum of two minutes per disc, the ODP 500 is the optimal solution for the industrial user who has high print volumes. The four single ink cartridges, which can be replaced individually, are located separately outside the printing area and are connected to the two print heads via a tube system. These two semi-permanent print heads belong to the most recent HP inkjet printer generation and have 2112 nozzles (1200 nozzles/inch). The separated technology (off-axis) leads to lower printing costs per disc because each ink is completely used up and because the high-performance print heads have a lifetime of about 90,000 prints. The high filling capacity of the ink cartridges (Black: 58.5 ml, Cyan, Magenta & Yellow each 17 ml) constitutes another advantage. This ink capacity allows unattended printing for a longer period of time, e.g. overnight. The ODP 500 also convinces with its high print capacity. Being no louder than a whisper, the ODP 500 prints up to 120 CD labels per hour full surface and in photo quality. The exact capacity depends on the respective print job and print mode. Three different print modes with three different resolutions each can be set. Each ink set has a capacity to print about 900 CDs with an even balance of the inks used. As the only printer of its class, the ODP 500 offers a special exhausting system to extract colour mist during the printing process. This feature increases the production safety, prolongs the service intervals, and positively affects the print result. The HP PhotoREt III Precision Technology allows printouts in photorealistic quality. It uses microscopically tiny drop sizes and precise software control to place up to 29 ink drops of 5 picolitres each per dot. This generates a range of printable colors of 3,500 colors per dot. The new HP ColorSmart III Technology allows the printer to deliver sharp and vivid color output which is true to the user’s original. A resolution of up to 1200x1200 dpi can be selected for black and white prints. Color prints can be printed with a resolution of up to 4800x1200 dpi (optimized). The ODP 500 has a high-speed USB interface. Principally, inkjet printable media of all common manufacturers can be used in the ODP 500. LSK regularly tests media of renowned manufacturers and gives recommendations on request.
