TEAC Introduces "Lease-to-Own" on its Disc Publishing Product Line



MONTEBELLO, CA (October 1, 2008)... TEAC, a premier manufacturer of Disc Publishing Products, announces the launch of their "Lease-to-Own" program on their complete line of Disc Publishing Products.

"We offer the Lease-to-Own program across all our disc publishing line from printers to publishers, duplicators and autoloaders", says Les Luzar, Senior VP of Sales and Marketing, TEAC America, Inc. "This program makes it easier for our customers to own, for example, the TEAC P-55 dye-sublimation thermal disc printer for as little as $120 per month, or the TEAC Discathlon 2 Autoloader System for as little as $240 per month with only the first and last payments required as downpayment. This is a great deal and our customers have embraced this program since we started offering the program."

TEAC P-55 disc printer is the world's only dye-sublimation thermal disc printer and is the sharpest image quality disc printer available. It is also the only Four-color CMYK (Cyan, Magenta,Yellow and Black) disc printer that offers "True-Black" instead of composite black by including the Black Panel on the ribbon. Exclusive VersaMax ribbon for the P-55 printer provides the widest media compatibility, therefore, lowest cost-per-printed disc for customers. P-55 is the most widely supported printer by 3rd -party robotic manufacturers. Customers can easily upgrade from their inkjet printers to the TEAC's P-55 thermal disc printer if they already have a robotics system.

"With Our VersaMax ribbon, there is no need to buy media kits any more," says Luzar, "VersaMax is compatible with most thermal media in the market today so you can choose your favorite media to print on and lower your cost-per-printed disc. None of our competitors offer a similar product."

TEAC will present the P-55 thermal disc printer, more details on its new "Lease-to-Own" program, and its full line of disc printers and duplicators at the GraphExpo Show, at Chicago's McCormick Place, Chicago, IL, Booth Number 3741, October 26-29th, 2008. TEAC's disc publishing products are available through TEAC Distributors and Resellers and more information is available on the TEAC web site, www.TEAC.com/DSPD, or by calling the TEAC discpublishing line at 323-727-4859 or emailing us at discpublishing@teac.com
