Microboards MX Series
High-volume disc publishing requires a solution that’s up to the task and that you can trust. Fortunately, the Microboards MX series delivers the ease, reliability, and professional quality you’re seeking in a solution that’s extremely fast and cost-effective as well. Comprising the MX-1 and MX-2 Disc Publishers, this series utilizes the latest in HP inkjet technology, with HP Vivera inks and outstanding 4800-dpi resolution, to deliver high-quality, professionally finished CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs that look truly amazing. Separate C, M, Y, K high-capacity ink cartridges mean less waste and a much lower cost per disc—at 9 to 15 cents for a typical full-coverage print and as low as 2 cents for light, text-only coverage.
When it comes to disc production in high volumes, the Microboards MX series is hard to beat in terms of speed, ease, quality, reliability, and cost. At a cost per disc of only 9 to 15 cents for a typical full-coverage print and as low as 2 cents for light, text-only coverage, you can produce professionally finished CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs for a lot less than it would cost to outsource production. You get the same or better quality with a solution built on proven HP inkjet technology, including vibrant HP Vivera inks and the highest (4800 x 1200 dpi) resolution. And our 4th generation disc handling technology reduces vibrations during the printing process, so you’re assured smooth, clean text and images on finished discs.
A 100-disc capacity and throughput of over 500 discs per week (for the MX-2) mean you can effortlessly produce discs in mass quantities. Simply set up your project and walk away; the MX/PF-Pro series, with Microboards’ enhanced automation for reliable loading and unloading of discs, handles the rest.
The MX/PF-Pro series includes the MX-1 and MX-2 Disc Publishers, with one and two high-speed 18X DVD and 48X CD recorders, respectively, enabling you to record or copy virtually any disc format, including Dual Layer. Also included in the series is the autoprinter-only version, the PF-Pro High Volume Printer, which utilizes MX-2.
