cost of ownership of the disc publishing systems making it ideal for Prosumer,
Corporate, Government and Education applications.
Until now the equipment
available to copy discs and label them required making a substantial investment
in a machine that is only by a stretch of the imagination "desktop". More than
one person is required to move some of these machines, so to get copies you have
to go to the machine rather than having the machine at your desk where the work
is. The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher LS is a package that is truly desktop with
only a 7 x 15 inch footprint and weighing about 20 pounds.
