Introducing the Microboards GX Series. You just won't find another professional all-in-one CD/DVD publishing system with all these features. If you have been waiting to buy a desktop solution, or are wrestling with legacy systems that offer poor print quality and unreliable automation, then it's time to graduate to the ROI champion: the GX.

Overview

What makes the GX such a winner? Lets start with something people rarely think about: footprint. At only 11.5 inches wide, the GX can slip into places you just couldn't fit the competition. Finding a corner of your office to transform into a DVD production station just got easier.

Much of the credit for this lean physical design goes to the innovative and patented disc movement technology employed by the GX -- a method that you won't find anywhere else - not to mention the speed and reliability of this unique mechanism. Once you see the GX in action, you'll wonder how you ever put up with slow, finicky robotic arms on your desktop.

Next up: the cost of doing business. At about 20¢ per print (full coverage; full color; 1200 dpi photo normal), the GX has a lower cost-per-print than any other printer, with some of the competition costing over 40¢. Any price premium paid for the GX compared to a "bargain" publishing system is paid for in a few hundred discs. Ink cost is one of the most overlooked aspects when shopping for disc publishers. This can amount to hundreds or thousands of dollars over the life of the machine.

If the cost savings aren't enough, let's talk about print quality and speed. The GX utilizes the latest Hewlett Packard print engine, including their new Vivera inks, which deliver the brightness and durability needed for photo-quality disc printing. Up to 4800 dpi is possible, making for the crispest images available. As for speed: about 108 seconds for a full coverage, Photo Quality, Normal mode; 20 seconds for full coverage, Text and Graphics, Best mode. Most jobs will fall somewhere in between.

With all this talk of efficiency and printing prowess, it's easy to overlook the reason we're all here: burning discs. With the refined combination of Microboards tried-and-true dispensing design and a cutting edge 18x DVD/48X CD writer, the GX burns at nearly 100% yield with quality duplication-grade media -- even dual layer -- lightning fast.

Finally, what good is quality output, if it's difficult or hard to create? The GX comes with powerful, easy-to-use software, for both Windows and Mac host computers: PrassiTech Zulu2 for PC, Charismac Discribe for Mac, and, as a bonus, SureThing CD Labeler 4 SE, Microboards Edition, also for the PC.
