The Prism III direct thermal printer prints black or monochrome discs in less than five seconds. With Rimage PerfectPrint, personalize pre-screened discs with Prism III monochrome printing.

Each printer is also available as an AutoPrinter model to deliver professional-looking printed disc labels, under robotic control, when discs only need to be labeled.

2. Direct Thermal
