Built to perform

With its rugged, compact design, dust-proof

case and minimum number of moving parts,

Discproducer delivers high performance, fast

throughput and top reliability. Its robotic

arm with AcuGrip™ technology eliminates

two-disc feeding which can damage discs

and interrupt unsupervised production

runs. In addition, everything can be quickly

accessed from the front of the machine for

easy operation and maintenance.

Best-in-class printing

Discproducer features a built-in inkjet

printer with Epson’s patented MicroPiezo®

technology. Using six colors it delivers the

highest print quality in its class with clear,

crisp text and vibrant graphics. And with

just one set of high-capacity ink cartridges,

you can print over 1,000 discs.*

Software simple as 1, 2, 3

Discproducer’s easy-to-use Total Disc Maker

Software includes disc selection, label design

and publishing functions. Simply select data,

design the label, configure the run, click

“Publish” and you are done. In addition,

Total Disc Bridge Software tools are available

for developers and integrators.

Network model makes shared access easy

The Network model supports shared access

with Ethernet connectivity. It includes an

LCD display, embedded processor, a hard

drive to store publishing jobs and a door

lock to restrict access.

Network Security model protects
data and costs

The Network Security model helps protect

confidential information. With PIN mode,

authorized users are required to enter an ID

and password before removing published

discs. And with Security mode, approval is

required for each authorized user’s job before

it is released for publishing, to protect data

and help control costs.

Count on Epson quality and reliability

Built with Epson’s advanced robotics and

printing technologies, Discproducer has all

the features you need to publish vibrant,

discs every time. Best of all, it is backed by

Epson’s worldwide reputation for quality,

* Cartridge yields var y considerably based on images printed, print settings, media type, frequency of use
and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace
cartridge” indicator comes on. Discproducer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first
cartridges is used for priming the printer. See discproducer.epson.com for more information about cartridges.
