DP-4100 Series

The Fastest Disc Publishers in the World

Blazingly Fast Printing and Robotics

DP-4100 Series are easily the fastest desktop disc
printers and publishers in the world today. At just six (6)
seconds to print each disc with 100% coverage in near­perfect quality, you’ll be stunned at how fast your jobs

will now get completed.

In fact, DP-4100 Series is up to 20

times faster than competitors for

similar print quality*, making

them the fastest desktop disc

printers and publishers in the

world.

Disc picking and transport
robotics have both been

optimized for speed, too. A

rock-solid and reliable new

belt drive system is utilized to

deliver 300% faster robotics than

previous models. The belt drive

system also gives you smoother and

quieter operation.

Separate Ink Cartridges for Lower
Cost-Per-Disc

DP-4100 Series is Primera’s rst disc printer to
offer separate ink
cartridges for Cyan,
Magenta, Yellow and
Black (CMYK). This
lets you replace only
the color(s) that need
replenishing, saving
you money on every
disc you print. This is
especially true if you
use more of one color on your discs than another.

Professional-Quality Printing

The built-in, high-resolution inkjet printing is powered
by Lexmark®, a world leader in printing technology.
With up to 4800 dpi quality, it has the highest
printing resolution available from any manufacturer
of disc printers and publishers.

DP-4100 Series are available
with Blu-ray Disc™ drives.

Getting the Discs Out

In applications such as medical imaging and audio/
video-on-demand it is imperative that discs are
dispensed out the front of the unit.
On DP-4100 Series, it’s an automatic, built-in feature.
On some competitive units you have to manually
open a door or a drawer every time – a huge
inconvenience if you’re doing it all day long.

Pick the Disc Publisher that’s Right for You

With three models available, there’s a DP-4100 Series
model for almost any disc printing or disc publishing
need.

Three models are available:

• DP-4100DiscPrinter – print only (no drive)

• DP-4101DiscPublisher – one recording drive

• DP-4102DiscPublisher – two recording drives

The Most Illuminating Feature

The built-in blue LED lighting not only helps you see
what’s going on inside, but pulses when supplies are
getting low and blinks on/off if an error condition is
reported. You’ll always know the status of your jobs
whether you’re sitting next to the unit or standing on
the other side of the room.

Powerful Software that’s Easy to Use

Using the DP-4100 Series is as easy as printing to
any ofce printer. Primera’s PTPublisher™ Software
has won critical acclaim for its simple, wizard-style
interface. Training new operators takes just minutes
instead of hours.

Simply choose the
type of job you
want to perform
(data, video, audio,
etc.), match with a
print le, and press
“GO.” It’s that easy!

PC Interface

Built-in disc design software
called SureThing™ Primera Edition (Windows) or
DiscCover™ (Mac) lets you place photos, backgrounds,
text and graphics anywhere on the disc, including as
far into the middle of the disc as you wish – a major
limitation with other brands of disc publishers.

Mac Interface

Combine this ultra high resolution printing with
Primera’s TuffCoat with WaterShield™ CDs and DVDs
and you’ll get the most professional looking discs.
TuffCoat with WaterShield discs are highly water-,
scratch- and smudge-resistant. They also have a
gorgeous, high-gloss nish unlike anything you’ve
probably ever seen before. Virtually all other brands
of inkjet-printable optical media are also supported.

*Print time only.
