DVD RW ND-4551
- First writers to feature Labelflash technology, for creative disc labelling
- Introducing the new ND-4551A model
- New range also features DVD RAM functionality
NEC today launched the world's first DVD burners with Labelflash™ technology. Labelflash™ burns custom motifs, lettering or images onto the top side of blank DVD media, giving users the chance to get creative when labelling their DVD and CD collections. The NEC ND-3551A and ND-4551A are new models, offering NEC’s highest specification performance to date, plus Labelflash™ functionality. They will be available from December 2005.
Labelflash™ – faster labelling of self-burned DVDs
Innovative Labelflash™ technology simplifies the labelling of self-burned DVDs – e.g. for easy archiving – and also enables creative disc design. Eliminating the need for messy paper labelling systems, which are especially ineffective at high speeds and can damage the disc and drive. Labelflash™ offers a professional-looking, reliable alternative.
Labelflash™ delivers high image quality, in 256 different shades. The labelling process can take as little as seven minutes, depending on the resolution selected. Both the top side and the data side of the disc can be labelled. To burn images on the top of the disc requires specialised media. Labelflash™ discs have a special top coating, 0.6 millimetre-thick, which ensures the image will not fade. However using Labelflash™ you can burn images on to the data side of any standard disc, in an area not already written with data.
