The Bravo 4101-Blu Disc Publisher (US Plug) has 1 drive for burning BD-R/DVD+/-R/CD-R recordable discs. No matter which of the disc formats you desire burn to, the 4101 can hold 100 at a time. In addition, the device also features a Lexmark inkjet printer that creates 4800 dpi graphics for professionally designed discs that look as good as they sound.
The burner features disc picking and transport robotics that are fast and reliable - delivering 300% faster robotics than previous Primera models. The belt drive system provides for smooth, quiet operation. When discs are done burning and printing, they are automatically outputted through the front of printer, making less work for the person doing the burning. Another thoughtful and convenient feature for the operator is the built-in blue LED lighting. Aside from illuminating the inner workings of the burner, this light also pulses when supplies are running low and blinks when an error condition is reported. No matter where the operator is in the room, they'll know of the status of the job being printed.
The Bravo 4100 series printers come with Primera's PTPublisher software - for both Mac and Windows computers. Primera boasts that this software takes "just minutes instead of hours" to learn. You pick the type of job you wish to perform - data, video, audio - and match it with a print file. Then, you hit 'go' and you're burning! The publisher series also features SureThing software for Windows and DiscCover software for Mac. Both are built-in design programs that help you create text, graphics, place photos and backgrounds and more on your discs. This software even allows for printing as far into the middle of the discs as you desire.
In fact, Bravo 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
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 finish unlike anything you've probably ever seen before. Virtually all other brands of inkjet-printable optical media are also supported
Simply choose the type of job you want to perform (data, video, audio, etc.), match with a print file, and press "GO." It's that easy!
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
