I never got along well with printers. Somehow, the gods have seen fit to make me the target of every paper jam, bad toner cartridge, bad printer driver, and every other strange going-on that can happen when your simple goal is to print words or images on a piece of paper. In fact, I hate printers. I have hated every printer I have owned from my first four-character-per-second daisywheel to my current state-of-the-art laser printer/scanner/copier/fax.
If my life depended on printing a single sheet of paper between now and the end of the day, I would surely die. So it was with some trepidation that I accepted the assignment to review the Primera Signature IV disc printer, lest my curse be visited upon an otherwise fine product.
For those companies who must present a professional appearance in the discs they produce, a CD printer is a necessity. Many computer programs are now delivered on CD-R instead of on pressed CD. If distribution is rather small, CD-R is a more flexible and cost-effective way to deliver software than pressed CDs, and recent consolidation in the replication industry only points toward a widening of the gulf between the cost-effective pressed-disc run and the typical business application volume output.
What's more, the printers have obviously done much to close the aesthetic gap between pressed and burned product. I can't count the times that I've opened a CD jewel case and mistaken a CD-R for a pressed CD because of the quality of the label. And many of those labels were printed on Primera printers. The Primera Signature IV is widely available as a standalone compact disc inkjet printer, and stands tall among the competition in the inkjet field. It has also made its mark as an integrated component of many disc duplication systems.
