A leading manufacturer of optical disk duplicators has announced its first automated burn-and-print device for Blu-ray media.

Primera Technology's Bravo XR-Blu Disc Publisher combines Pioneer's new BDR-101A Blu-ray Disc/DVD recorder with full-colour direct-to-disc inkjet printing.

Initially it supports only the single-layer 25GB Blu-ray (BD) discs though a future firmware update will add compatibility with dual-layer 50GB media. Up to 50 discs can be loaded into the device, enabling 2.5TB of data to be burnt in a single session.

We're proud to be the first company in the world to offer a professional, automated burn and print disc publishing system based upon Blu-ray disc technology,' said Mark D. Strobel, VP of sales and marketing at Primera. 'The increased capacity of Blu-ray Discs over standard DVD-R media will open up new applications and solutions that until now were impossible due to storage space constraints.'
