Make Your Own Card CDs on Microtech's ImageAutomator Within the last year, the "Card CD" form of compact disc has taken off. These small discs, which come in several sizes and hold up to 50 megabites of data, can be used for many applications which require a small amount of data in a super-compact package. Now you can make these discs on the Image Automator 105 production system with the addition of the Card CD upgrade kit.
Super-Compact Discs
Card CDs are about the size of a standard business card; they can easily be slipped into a wallet or pocket. Now, instead of just handing a card to a prospective customer or client, you can give them an entire multimedia presentation or other information in digital form. Card CDs read and play just like standard CDs in manual CD-ROM readers or audio players.
Automated Card CD Production
The Image Automator takes care of all aspects of the Card CD handling; you only need to load blank discs and unload completed discs. All CD formats are supported, just as with standard CDs: audio, data (ISO 9660), multisession and more. Our simplified software makes it easy to set up and run production jobs.
Burn and Print Card CDs
With the ImageAutomator system, you can print your Card CDs after they've been recorded. Print any text or images you want on them. You have a choice of thermal transfer printers: black-only or full color which print on any type of blank media. (Our special card alignment module makes sure that each disc is correctly oriented in the printer before being printed.) And with the ImageAligner option, you can add text to print over pre-printed graphics on your discs.

The ImageAutomator system used for producing Card CDs has all the recording capabilities of our systems for regular CDs. All CD formats in common use today can be copied, including:

In addition to making copies of a master Card CD, you can also premaster your own Card CDs to create custom discs. Our MyDisc software lets users choose files to put on their disc, plus create a layout for printing their discs, right at their desktops via a network.
