Precision Disc Manufacturing Corp. is pleased to announce the purchase of a KBA 74 Karat 29” waterless digitally integrated offset press.

The KBA 74 Karat is considered to be one of the ‘greenest’ print presses on the planet and, while we definitely require an environmentally-friendly printer for our product line of DVD and CD eco-packaging solutions, the KBA 74 Karat also delivers very high quality print reproduction for our discerning clientele.

“We’re delighted to have been able to purchase this particular press.” states company president
Paul Durnie, “It fits perfectly into our mandate for environmentally responsible technology and processes, and it’s the perfect fit for growing our print division and new ‘green’ product offerings. The press-sheet size, quick make-ready and printer speed made the 74 Karat a must-have for us.”

For a 29” printer of this calibre, the KBA 74 Karat has a very compact footprint (12’-9” long, 7’-3” wide and 7’-0” tall) and everything about this printer is designed for efficiency and user-friendliness. For example, the machine holds two cassettes of imaging plates (sufficient to print 10 jobs) which are imaged and changed automatically within the printer.

A complete job change with automated plate change, imaging and inking only takes about 15 minutes, with a maximum of just ten make-ready sheets. That’s quite amazing for an offset printer, when you think of the waste that is prevented by such efficient operation and technology.

And speaking of efficiency, the KBA 74 Karat has a maximum production speed of 10,000 sheets per hour, with waterless offset plates that can allow print-runs of up to 100,000 copies.

This press does away with paper waste, ink sludge, toxic cleaners and chemical developers that are typically associated with offset printing. Through its use of soy based inks, completely waterless printing technology, and inline aqueous coating, the KBA 74 Karat provides the highest quality eco-friendly print solutions you’ll find anywhere without sacrificing print quality one bit!

When combined with Precision Disc’s existing Indigo printers, not only does the KBA 74 Karat enhance our print production capacity and speed, the 29” press sheet also increases the number of products we can provide.

Printer features and highlights: 

• Waterless offset – brilliant colour, sharp dots
• Soft reproduction of the finest gradients
• No ghosting
• Superb solids
• In-line water based (aqueous) finishing.
• Solid densities and tone reproduction to ISO 12647-1/2/3
• Make-ready: 10 sheets
• Press dimensions (L x W x H):  12’-9” x 7’-3” x 7’-0”
• Weight:  26,500 pounds
• Power: 65kVA
• Max sheet size:  29.125” x 20.5”
• Max speed: 10,000 sph (job dependent)
• Resolution: 100 dots/mm = 2,540 dpi
• RIP: Creo Brisque

Precision Disc Manufacturing Corp. is happy to announce a new addition to our eco-friendly line of CD Digipak products – namely the “CS1026″.

The CS1026 CD Digipak features 6 panel construction with one ‘tube’ style pocket which is integral to the front cover panel of the Digipak. A tube pocket is open on both ends (like a tunnel) so the contents of the pocket can be accessed when the Digipak is open or closed.

Ideally, the tube pocket is used in conjunction with a printed paper insert, be that a folder or stapled booklet. The tube pocket is not recommended for use with a second disc.

As per the illustration shown above, the CS1026 has two variations:

• CS1026-c : Featuring a single disc tray (either clear or black coloured) in the middle panel.
• CS1026-r : Featuring a single disc tray (either clear or black coloured) in the right hand panel.

Regular pricing includes CMYK 4/0 print which, after die-cutting, folding and gluing, provides full colour print on all visible panels. The CS1026 CD Digipak is printed on our standard “tree hugger” white boardstock with semi-gloss finish:

• 100% recyclable
• 50% post-consumer waste
• Forest Stewardshp Council (FSC) certified
• Acid free
• Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF)

100% recycled content boardstock as well as kraft/brown ‘chipboard’ are also available – please contact us to confirm pricing.

It’s always great to hear back from clients so we thought that we’d share a few of our most recent testimonials with you!

“I would like to pass on many thanks to yourself and your team. You were all amazing throughout every step of the way. I’d also like to say a big big thank you for getting the product to us on time, for the EP release party. Precision Disc did a fantastic job, as always! And I will definitely be coming back again with MORE TIME to spare!”  ~  Disa C.

This client sent this comment to the members of his Professional Videographers Association:  “I just received 1000 replicated DVDs all packaged up and I’m really happy with the company that did it for me.  Precision Disc (http://www.predisc.com) is a company that has a manufacturing plant in Surrey, B.C.  I tried working with a local outfit that is an agent for a big replication house in eastern Canada. I had used them before but they have changed hands and the new owners haven’t got a clue. Precision Disc has a great system that keeps you up to speed on the progress of the job and they’re super easy to work with.  You can get a quote online very quickly unless your job is outside the normal in which case you just call them. Their prices were lower than I expected. If you have a replication job, these are your people!  I can’t recommend them highly enough.”  ~  Steve B.

“Thanks for all your hard work on my last project.  I’ve featured your company on my website, which is designed to help artists save money so they can continue to make art.”  ~  Punam

“I got my discs back, and I phoned… but wanted to follow up with an email as well. I just could NOT be any happier with how it all came out. It looks EXACTLY how I imagined. There is always so much room for disappointment in these matters, but, you guys did a magnificent job. Also, it was ready a bit early, and for that, I must say thank you! (anxious girl that I am). What a great surprise. For any future projects, I would not dream of going through anybody else. Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times over!”  ~  Kelly H.

We’re very fond of referring to the Mini CD as “a business card that can talk” but that’s actually selling the Mini CD short because it can do much more than simply “talk”.

By creating a dynamic multimedia presentation, you can use your Mini CD as a delivery vehicle to stimulate, educate, inspire and entertain your prospective clients in a way that traditional marketing materials such as brochures and literature cannot.
 

Similar in many ways to our CD Business Card, Precision Disc’s Mini CD can accommodate video, sound, graphics, text, all manner of documents and can connect to your website through the internet, thereby creating a powerful marketing message that you can conveniently and inexpensively delivery into the hands of your clients.

What’s the Difference Between Mini CD and Full Size CD

• Mini CD manufacturing is exactly the same as manufacturing full size CDs.
• Mini CDs operate exactly the same way that full size CDs operate.
• Mini CDs are designed to be used in tray-loading disc drives.
• The biggest visual difference is the size: Mini CD is 80mm in diameter.
• The capacity is 180mb worth of content.
• Mini CD is also available as Mini CDR but a different design template must be used.
• Is viewed as being more unique and interesting than full size discs.
• Has higher perceived value than full size discs.

So yes, the smaller size of these products will provides you with an eye-catching and unique method of delivering your message straight the hands of your prospective clients… it gets noticed… and you eliminate the need for bulky and expensive brochures and catalogs.

Use a Mini CD to put all of your business’s information in one compact package. This allows you to get your marketing and promotional materials to your prospective clients in the most efficient and cost effective way imaginable. Depending on quantity you can expect to pay less than $0.40 per unit for replicated discs supplied in bulk, and Precision Disc also offers some attractive and eco-friendly packaging solutions for your consideration.
