DVD media will be available in August. More information can be found here.TuffCoat with WaterShield is the world's first water-resistant and smear-resistant inkjet-printable CD-R and DVD-R media with a glossy, photo-quality surface. The WaterShield surface, developed by TAIYO YUDEN and optimized for use with Primera's inkjet CD/DVD printers, has a host of benefits, including:
- Water and smear resistance. TuffCoat with WaterShield discs employ a special, high-performance coating that is bonded to the surface of the disc during manufacturing. The discs are resistant to smearing and color bleed when exposed to water and humidity.
- Glossy, photo-quality finish. With its glossy surface, TuffCoat with WaterShield provides the contrast and illumination needed for better color reproduction, more accurate color matching and a glossier disc surface than other inkjet printable discs.
- Faster and more cost-effective. Other methods of protecting a recordable CD or DVD against water, such as lamination and expensive reverse thermal transfer printers, are no longer required. This allows businesses and consumers of all types to use much lower cost disc printers and duplication equipment. Production is faster since no additional steps are required to receive professional-quality, robust and highly water-resistant results.
