A pioneer and innovator in CD, DVD, and Blu-ray Disc™ production technology, Rimage provides state-of-the-art CD, DVD, and Blu-ray Disc publishing, duplication and printing solutions. From economical desktop systems to high-volume production units, Rimage provides digital publishing platforms to fit every need. Rimage also offers a full line of consumables and support programs to ensure the quality of the finished disc and uptime of the system.

Rimage is the worldwide leader and pioneer in developing and manufacturing replication and finishing equipment for digital media. Rimage introduced the Perfect Image Diskette Publishing System in the 1980's, which was the most powerful software manufacturing system to date. In 1992 Rimage established a wholly owned subsidiary in Germany. Starting with one employee, this subsidiary has thrived and now covers Europe, Scandinavia, Africa, the Middle East, and Russia.

When data storage requirements grew beyond the capacity of floppy discs, Rimage entered the emerging CD-R market. Although floppy discs were automatically labeled with a paper stick-on label, this was not the case with automated CD-R production. To address this need, Rimage introduced Prism, the world's first "laser quality" direct-to-disc thermal printer in 1995. The Prism disc printer, now the PrismPlus!, is still the production standard in some of the highest volume CD production locations in the world.

In 1997, Rimage introduced the Perfect Image Producer System, the first fully integrated automated CD-R publishing system that combined file transferring, recording, and thermal surface printing in one continuous uninterrupted flow.

In 2000, Rimage acquired Cedar Technologies, a Minnesota-based corporation. Cedar had a product line of compact CD systems with ink jet printers that were popular in both the United States and Europe. The acquisition of Cedar paved the way for Rimage to enter the "Desktop" marketplace and reach a new segment of customers. Shortly after the acquisition, in December of 2000, Rimage announced its own line of Desktop systems after integrating Cedar's technology with Rimage systems and software.

When disc printing requirements called for more photo-realistic, indelible, full color images, Rimage went to work developing the world's first thermal re-transfer labeling process for CDs and DVDs. In 2001, Rimage introduced the Everest printer, giving customers the ability to print stunning, indelible, photo quality artwork directly on the disc. Everest was promptly integrated into the Producer family of CD/DVD systems, giving users two premium options for printing.

In 2003, Rimage was the first to offer DVD-R support and the first to offer total flexibility by combining DVD-R and CD-R production in a single automated system. Today, all Rimage systems are available with support for CD-R,DVD-R, and Blu-ray Disc recording formats. The year 2003 also saw the introduction of the first ink jet printer developed and manufactured by Rimage. A joint technology project between HP and Rimage, the Liberty Ink Jet Printer entered the market to rave reviews and fast growing sales. The Liberty printer was available both on Rimage Desktop Systems and as a stand-alone model.

In 2004, Rimage introduced the DiscLab series of publishing systems. The DiscLab series was designed to meet the need for a small footprint machine that included Rimage's state-of-the-art Everest II printer. In addition, some DiscLab systems are available with embedded or built-in PCs that arrive already installed, configured and ready to go to work. In addition, Rimage also introduced its latest Desktop products, the Rimage 2000i CD, DVD system and the stand-alone Rimage 480i ink jet printer. The Rimage 480i ink jet printer represented Rimage's second joint development with HP in the disc printing business.

In 2006, Rimage launched the Producer III family, a broad, feature-rich product family designed to meet the publishing needs of high volume customers. Producer III systems have the option of using either Everest or Prism printers and come equipped with up to four recorders. Customers who purchase Producer III equipment require high throughput and uninterrupted operation.

In 2007, Rimage started replacing the DiscLab systems with the new Professional series systems. The Professional series systems include Everest printing and one or two recorders. Customers who purchase Professional series systems typically use them in an office environment where lower volumes of discs are required each day. Rimage was an industry leader in the medical imaging industry since 2001 and developed the Medical Disc System in 2007 to specifically for the medical and healthcare industry. Rimage equipment is installed in over 5000 medical facilities worldwide.

In 2008, Rimage revolutionized direct-to-disc thermal retransfer printing with the introduction of the Everest 600 thermal retransfer printer. The Everest 600 prints photo-realistic images with 600 dpi print resolution, which results in photo-realistic images, sharper text, smoother gradients and improved half-tones. Rimage has reset the industry standard for CD, DVD, and Blu-ray Disc printing with the Everest 600 printer.

In 2009, Rimage introduced its strongest software suite yet, Producer Software Suite 8.2. PSS 8.2 contains DiscFlow, a Mac™ client software package that allows Mac users to create and submit disc publishing jobs. Also added was ZIP folder encryption, allowing Rimage users to password protect data on CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. 8.2 also contains WebQD, a thin client application that allows anyone with a computer and a web browser to submit jobs and monitor system progress from anywhere on the web. 8.2 was rounded out with plug-ins so various digital video users can easily offload content and record it on to a more stable medium - optical discs.

In early 2010, Rimage introduced two new models to its Professional Series. The Rimage 3400 and 5400N models estabilish new market value points with innovative design, proven Everest print technology, and the ability to handle multiple media types and multiple users seamlessly over a network.

In addition to Rimage's robust hardware platforms, Rimage's state of the art software is second to none. Rimage software provides a seamless integration to any end-user application making it easier to produce discs. Rimage provides application developers with a robust software development kit (SDK) and application programming interface (API) to simplify integration of end-user applications with Rimage hardware.

One of the keys to the success at Rimage has been relationships with Value Added Resellers, and technology partners. Technology partners are independent software vendors and system integrators whose products expand the versatility of Rimage systems. Current Rimage technology partners range from total solution providers to software integrators who provide solutions to very specialized technology applications.

Rimage end users benefit from these relationships by having a wide range of experienced integrators who can help design and install unique solutions. Rimage technology and support systems, combined with unique and specialized integration and support, offer the end user a far superior solution than either partner could provide working alone. Rimage currently has partners in the Financial, Photo, Medical Retail, Video, and a number of other markets and industries.
