FREMONT,
Calif. – May 18, 2004 – Disc Makers,
the nation’s leading independent media manufacturer,
today announced it has selected Plextor® Corp., a
leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance
digital media equipment, to integrate CD/RW and DVDR drives
exclusively into its line of duplicators, as well as for
in-house duplication operations. Disc Makers’ customers
will now, at no extra charge, get the benefit of the industry’s
fastest disc duplication throughput through the integration
of Plextor’s CD/DVD optical recording drives.
Disc
Makers has integrated Plextor burners into its complete
line of Reflex Series manual duplicators and Elite Series
automated CD and DVD duplication and printing systems.
The Plextor drives include the PlexWriter 52/24/52A CD-R/RW
drive with 52X CD-R and the dual-format PX-712A DVD±R/RW
drive with 12X DVD+R, 8X DVD-R, and 48X CD-R. In addition
to fast recording speeds, all Plextor drives feature very
high data throughput, making volume applications like
duplication more productive and cost-effective. Plextor
drives also are compatible with a wide range of CD and
DVD media, giving customers more flexibility.
Disc
Makers’ state-of-the-art facility in Pennsauken,
NJ, which offers a full range of media duplication, replication,
printing, and packaging services, is being completely

the most reliable drives with the highest quality duplicators,
our top-of-the line systems will be capable of reproducing
