The Everest II utilizes Rimage's patented retransfer printing
process. The CMY panels are first printed to a clear retransfer
ribbon inside the printer. Then, using heat and pressure, the
printed image and a layer of the clear ribbon are applied to the
disc. The finished product emerges dry, durable, and ready to
handle. The final effect is amazing - a colorful, high
resolution, disc with your choices of photos, graphics, text,
bar codes, you name it - in less than 60 seconds.
CD-Designer label creation software is also included with the
Everest II. This software allows the you to import graphics and
text. Features include serialization, bar codes, and data
merging capabilities. However, you don't need to be limited to
the tools provided because the printer works well with such
industry-standard software as Adobe® Illustrator®, Adobe®
Photoshop®, Macromedia® FreeHand®, QuarkExpress®, and CorelDRAW®.
Graphic designers can compose labels using their choice of
software.
The pigmented ink on the Everest II ribbons is UV protected,
ensuring vibrant colors throughout the life of a disc. Everest
II disc printing will pass any sunshine or dashboard test you
devise - a significant advantage over other disc printers. And
because the ink is not water based, you will never see a smeared
Everest II disc. Everest II printing also won't scratch
off—you'll ruin the disc before you can scratch the label. This
enables discs to be used for commercial distribution because
Everest II printed discs can withstand the rigors of day-to-day
consumer handling.
The Everest II employs an innovative variable dot technology,
where the dots composing an image vary in size, resulting in
sharper images with greater detail. In addition, the MicroDry
ink is actually a thermal resin that contains pigment. This dry
technology produces a dot with a fine edge. Consequently, dots
per inch, or DPI, does not accurately reflect the print
resolution. A better measure is lines per inch (LPI), and that
is where Everest II truly shines. Silk-screen printing typically
produces 85-120 LPI, and magazines are generally offset printed
at 150 LPI. Everest II prints labels at 160 LPI—color or
monochrome printing that is better than silk-screen!
The Everest II is available in a variety of configurations. For
easy, economical desktop use, there's the stand alone Everest II
For batch printing, there is the AutoEverest II, an
automatically loading printer that connects to a PC or
Macintosh. For true on-demand CD-R/DVD-R production, connect
your Everest II to one of Rimage's highly productive
publishing systems.
Full color printing for photo-realistic images, monocolor
printing for special effects or economy, white media, silver
media - all are possible with Everest. The Everest II can print
up to 1000 discs unattended, making it perfect for long printing
runs. The Everest II printing ribbons are on an easy-to-change
carriage so even when a ribbon change is required, it's easy and
can be done in less than a minute.
CMY print ribbons - these are the most popular choice for
Everest printing. They work well with silver or white media and
can reproduce everything from photos to graphics to
sophisticated artwork. CMY ribbons will print 500 discs per
ribbon and each disc will print in less than 60 seconds.
Black ribbon - the black ribbon is a great choice for black or
gray scale printing. Silver media and a black ribbon can combine
to form a great looking disc, and provide the additional
benefits of faster printing, 35 seconds, lower cost per disc,
and 1000 prints per ribbon.
CMY+W ribbon - This is a CMY ribbon with an additional white
panel. This ribbon can be used when maximum photographic
reproduction is desired, particularly with skin tones and faces.
In addition, the CMY+W ribbon can be used with silver media to
print the full color spectrum and also provide silver highlights
or dropouts. And, if you really want to wow your audience, use
the unique layering capability of Everest printing to create
discs with reflective highlights that can easily be seen, but
can't be copied or duplicated. This holographic effect is an
Everest exclusive. The CMY+W ribbon prints 375 discs per ribbon
and each disc prints in 75 seconds
