Liberty Printer

The Rimage Liberty printer is a flexible, cost-effective inkjet printer for use in a
standalone or Rimage system application. Capable of color or black printing, the
Liberty printer uses special ink cartridges intended for CD and DVD printing.
The Liberty can print laser-quality black text, plus professional color photos, at up to
4800-optimized DPI (with 1200 x 1200 DPI input resolution) on 120 mm CD and DVD
discs with ink-jet receptive coatings. Liberty also features controlled ink drop
placement for faster operation and optimized color resolution. A single ink cartridge
will print about 300-500 full discs depending on print mode and image complexity.
Partial disc coverage extends cartridge capacity.

bin can hold up to 60 discs. Discs may vary in thickness.
