Review: TDK LPCW-100 CD/DVD Label Printer

The TDK company has been around for many years and everyone will have heard
of the company. TDK manufactures electronic components and recordable CD and DVD
media. TDK also manufactures optical products such as CD-RW and DVD-RW recorders
and since recently they have also added CD/DVD label printers to their product
range. In November 2002 TDK launched their first model, the LPCW-50. Roughly one
year later TDK announced the follow-up model of this CD/DVD label printer,
the LPCW-100.


Compared to the previous model the TDK LPCW-100 printer has a higher print
resolution (300dpi compared to 200dpi for the LPCW-50) and support for more
colours (five colours compared to four colours for the LPCW-50). Today, thanks
to TDK Europe, we'll take a look at the LPCW-100 CD/DVD label printer. According
to the press
release
TDK Europe send out, the printer is incredibly easy to use and discs
will be printed with dry ink which should prevent smudging. We'll of course test
if this is indeed the case.
