Aleratec announced a DVD/CD autoloading disc duplicator with LightScribe technology that burns labels directly on DVD/CD discs. The 1:3 DVD/CD Auto Publisher LS automatically records and duplicates DVDs and CDs, and then burns labels on the discs without a printer.

Aleratec Direct Disc Publishing is an integrated system that combines LightScribe-enabled DVD/CD recorders with LightScribe media and the Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite, to produce laser-etched, disc labels. LightScribe Direct Disc technology laser burns professional-looking CD and DVD labels directly on the disc -- no ink or other costly printing supplies are required.

The 1:3 DVD/CD Auto Publisher LS has a robotic loading mechanism designed specifically for unattended loading and unloading of DVDs and CDs into the Auto Publisher's LightScribe DVD/CD recorders. Users can just connect the 1:3 DVD/CD Auto Publisher LS to a PC via USB 2.0, load the LightScribe discs, click on Copy or Print and the 1:3 DVD/CD Auto Publisher LS does the rest unattended, allowing customers to do something else.

The 1:3 DVD/CD Auto Publisher LS (Aleratec Part No. 280106) is available at an Estimated Street Price of $2,999.
