Disc Makers' new, redesigned Elite2 (pictured), ElitePro2, Elite4, and ElitePro4 systems include the FlexWare software suite and 16x DVD±R/48x CD-R drives from Plextor.

Disc Makers sets a new standard for size and ease-of-use with its latest line of redesigned Elite duplicators—the most rugged automated duplication and printing systems on the market. The new Elite2, ElitePro2, Elite4, and ElitePro4 systems showcase a new FlexWare software suite that integrates disc creation, on-disc design, disc duplication, and printing into one easy-to-use application. In addition, they incorporate the latest 16x DVD±R/48x CD-R drives from Plextor, giving them the fastest, most reliable throughput in the industry.

The new Elite systems are now shipping and start at just $2,490 (was $3,490) for the two-drive Elite2 and $4,290 (was $5,490) for the four-drive Elite4. Both systems can be upgraded to an ElitePro system featuring a built-in PC with preloaded software, keyboard, and mouse for just $500 more. The ElitePro2 is $2,990 (was $4,190) and ElitePro4 is $4,790 (was $6,490). All systems are available with Disc Makers’ latest Autograph7 4800 dpi color inkjet printer.

Incorporated in the new Elite systems is the revolutionary FlexWare software suite, which simplifies the duplication process for the customer, giving them a single application that lets them custom-create their disc with ease, from the on-disc design and layout, to the content, duplication, and printing. It also has built-in auto settings so that discs come out looking great and playing perfectly every time in virtually any media player on the market today. The FlexWare software, along with networking options, a 24-month warranty, and an efficient 18”x20” footprint, give hardware customers the complete, turnkey solution to all of their DVD and CD duplication and printing needs.

"This redesign is a complete makeover, improving both the performance and the ease-of use,” says Tony Van Veen, vice president of marketing. “Plus, the prices on all our Elites have been slashed—up to $1,700, which will position these duplication and printing systems to be the market leaders.”
