Rimage Receives Award for CD-R Product Development
Minneapolis, MN, June 11, 1996 — The SIGCAT Foundation recently presented Rimage Corporation with its 1996 Significant Achievement Recognition Award for outstanding achievement in the Private Sector Technology: CD-ROM Desktop: CD-R category. The award is for the development of the Rimage Perfect Image™ CD-R Printer. The award ceremony took place at SIGCAT’s May 1996 conference in Washington, D.C.
According to SIGCAT (Special Interest Group on CD-ROM Applications and Technology), Rimage was chosen because the CD-R Printer provided the CD-ROM industry with the missing link between in-house and plant production of CD-ROMs. The acceptance of a CD-ROM can be greatly enhanced by removing the ‘hand made’ look and creating a professional presentation of an in-house produced disc, the organization said during the presentation.
The printer was also noted for its ability to print high resolution (300 dpi) text and graphics on CD-R media at the rate of six per minute at a cost of only five to eight cents each.
Developed and manufactured by Rimage, the Perfect Image CD-R Printer has also been integrated with the Kodak Disc Transporter to provide a complete desktop automated publishing solution (APS) and is a component in the new Perfect Image Producer line of CD-R recording and printing systems.
“The Perfect Image CD-R Printer is a truly enabling technology for in-house producers, according to Mac McCorkle, Vice President of Marketing for Rimage. “Combined with the added ability to simultaneously record discs, the automated CD-R production systems deliver a huge productivity gain for any information-intensive business or government agency.”
The SIGCAT Foundation, the international organization for CD-ROM technology users, held its conference in late May.
