As more office workers use micro secure digital (SD) cards to store data on portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, the need to copy memory cards is growing. Xerox Corporation, through a licensing agreement with Vinpower Digital, today introduced a line of standalone, high-speed SD/MicroSD duplicators that eliminates the need for adapters, and makes it easier to create multiple copies of any SD or MicroSD memory card.

Until now, duplicating MicroSD cards, which are about the size of a fingernail, required a special adaptor. Making multiple copies of the cards was time consuming because each card had to be inserted individually into a personal computer to copy. The Xerox SD/MicroSD Duplicator eliminates the need for adaptors by providing both a standard size SD slot as well as a slot for the much smaller MicroSD.

aleratec_robojet_disc_printing.jpgAleratec today announced a new disc-printing solution that transforms a compatible Epson inkjet printer into a robotic system that prints up to 100 Blu-ray, DVD or CD labels automatically.

Aleratec is renowned for creating professional grade products at consumer prices. It continues this tradition with the RoboJet Disc Autoloader, an economical product that is easy to both use and install, and which completely automates the printing process for up to 100 high-resolution Blu-ray, DVD or CD discs when paired with a compatible Epson inkjet printer (not included). Users of this system can load up to 100 inkjet-printable discs in the RoboJet Disc Autoloader and start fully automated print runs using the included Aleratec Autoloader software. For added convenience, new discs can be added and completed discs can be removed while a job is in progress.

Customers wanting to print quantities of full-color, photo-quality discs will find that Aleratec’s disc feed system takes just minutes to install. The disc tray simply replaces the printer’s paper feed tray. The powerful Aleratec Autoloader software included with the RoboJet Disc Printing System is also simple to install and makes it easy to optimize operation. Additionally, users are free to use the label-making software of their choice to print labels since the RoboJet will work with just about any popular inkjet printing software, including Epson Print CD, Nero Cover Designer and Acoustica Label Maker.

Today, Aleratec launched the 1:10 USB Copy Cruiser Mini, a portable 10-target USB flash drive duplicator created to support the mobile businessperson. Designed to pair with a laptop, these professional-grade devices boast some of the same features and technology as Aleratec’s larger, higher-end USB flash drive duplicators, but are small enough to easily fit into a briefcase or laptop bag.

The USB flash drive has become one of the most widely used tools for individuals to share data and multimedia files because of their size, convenience, and universal compatibility. There is also a growing trend to use flash drives to distribute product information to customers, sales presentations, photos, files of all types to groups of users. Traditional USB flash drive duplicators save tremendous amounts of time and effort when creating copies of USB sticks, but are too big and heavy to be of use to the “Road Warrior” businessperson. Aleratec has solved this problem with the 1:10 USB Copy Cruiser Mini, a truly portable USB flash drive duplicator system that weighs less than 4 ounces!

vinpower digital ripbox.jpgVinpower Digital is proud to introduce the new RipBox Optical Disc (CD, DVD, BD) copy and ripping station based on the Cube series of duplicators. The RipBox units are automated systems with a robotic transport arm that connects to a computer via USB. The RipBox can be operated through various software applications like Vinpower’s BPR 2000 Lite, a third party software, or even through the users own proprietary operation software that can be adapted to control the RipBox through an SDK provided by Vinpower.

The RipBox can be purchased with or without software, allowing the user to maintain costs more effectively, which is particularly important in these financial times. For this reason, Vinpower recently collaborated with ImgBurn, creator of popular freeware burning and ripping software, to create the recently released version 2.5.3.0. This software can easily be downloaded from the ImgBurn website (http://www.imgburn.com/) for free. “Utilizing the Vinpower RipBox with the ImgBurn freeware not only affords the user significant savings over competitive products, but also provides a very useful and reliable compact ripping device,” states Ryan Swerdloff, VP of Marketing at Vinpower Digital.
