What's the point of buying an Apollo or Zeus cd dvd duplicator?  Well there are many reasons why you should.  First of all, if you want completely unattended duplication and printing of your CDs and DVDs, then either an Apollo system or Zeus system would be best.  You see, your jobs can continue after hours.  Not having to pay  employees to load and unload CDs and DVDs can save you thousands of dollars.  You can also do small customized runs rather than oursourcing to a replicator who requires a minimum of 1000 disc runs.  Best of all, you set your job, walk away, and let our workhorses do the work for you.

The Apollo series and Zeus series cd dvd dupliators are nearly identical, the only difference being that the Apollo duplicators connect to your existing computer, and the Zeus duplicators have a computer built inside.  The Apollo and Zeus series cd dvd duplicators are available in 2, 4 or 7 drives with 6 different integrated printer options to choose from and ranging from 220 to 900 disc capacity, depending on printer used.  Also available in copy-only configuration are 4, 7, and 9 drives systems with 330, 630, and 900 disc capacity respectively.  The Apollo series cd dvd duplicators come with all the necessary software and hardware to successfully install the system to your PC.  System includes, firewire cards, cables, DiscJuggler Professional edition software, label editing software, and alignment software.  If you opt for a Zeus system, everything is built in and pre-installed, all you need to do is run the alignment software and align the drives and printer and you are ready to burn and print.  Available systems include copy-print, copy-only, and print only.

The capacity for copy-print & print-only systems is as follows:

• 2 drives + Lex / HP / Z6 / P55 printers - 220 capacity
• 2 drives + Pro III & Prism printers - 330 capacity
• 4 drives + Lex / HP / Z6 / P55 printers - 420 capacity
• 4 drives + Pro III & Prism printers - 630 capacity
• 7 drives + Lex / HP / Z6 / P55 printers - 600 capacity * Removable bins
• 7 drives + Pro III & Prism printers - 900 capacity * Removable bins

The capacity for copy only systems is as follows:

• 4 drives - 330 capacity
• 7 drives - 630 capacity
• 9 drives - 900 capacity * Removable bins.

The large autoloaders (7 drives + printer or 9 drives) have removable input/output bins to easily add and remove discs or have extras to simply swap when the jobs are finished.

The software is very easy to use and user friendly.  It consist of a user interface with drag and drop functions.  Simply find the data you want, drag it to the destination window, enter your created label file you want printed and number of copies you want, and press start.  That's it!  Now you can go home and come back in the morning and find your job finished.  Should you need smaller quantities of different master discs, you can do batch duplication and printing.  Simply create a label file to go with the master, load each master in the input bins followed by the number of blanks, set the number of copies to auto, select burn from same burner, press start, and you're off!

The Apollo and Zeus series CD DVD Duplicators and printers are very effective and efficient mid-range duplication systems.  In addition to the great pricing, tehy are still covered by a standard 3 year warranty on the robotics!

When companies require high volume CD and DVD duplication and printing, but want to bring the production in house, can easily achieve this with All Pro Solutions systems.  In, the previous article, the Hera series DVD duplicators were introduced.  Now you can take one Hera system, or as many as needed, and bundle it with one or more printer autoloaders to acheive that high volume that is needed.

The All Pro Solutions printer autoloaders come in several configurations: PC-connected (Apollo) or built-in PC (Zeus).  These are exactly the same machine, only difference is one uses the customer's PC and the other has an internally-built PC.  In the Apollo/Zeus series cd dvd printer autoloaders, there are several options to choose from: Apollo or Zeus PA4 - 220 or 330 disc capacity (depends on printer), Apollo or Zeus PA7 - 420 or 630 capacity (depends on printer), and the Apollo or Zeus PA9 - 600 or 900 disc capacity (depends on printer).  In addition to these options, also available is the newest printing system from All Pro Solutions which is the Apollo or Zeus Dual Printer Autoloader.  This system is capable of running 2 inkjet printers at the same time, doubling the printing output of the standard single printer autoloader.  This is the industry's first 2 printer system and has become very popular quite rapidly. 

For optimum output, it is recommended that an Apollo or Zeus Dual printer autoloader is used in conjunction with a Hera 9 CD DVD duplicator system.  The Hera 9 is among the tops in the industry in output per hour.  For a full 700MB CD, the Hera 9 can produce a little over 90 CD-Rs per hour.  For a 4.4 GB DVD, the Hera 9 takes less than an hour to produce 54 DVD-Rs.  Bundle that with 2 printers printing at the same time and you have a full produciton house at your convenience.  You can print on blanks with the dual printer autoloader while burning on printed discs with the Hera and vise versa for optimum throughput.  Depending on your ink usage and label file, with the dual printer autoloader you can print anywhere from 60 to over 90 full color printed discs per hour, which works very well when also running a Hera 9 system.  For higher volumes, bundle 2 or more Hera 9 systems with 2 or more Zeus or Apollo Dual printer autoloaders, and you can achieve numbers similar to CD and DVD replicators.

This blog is dedicated to All Pro Solutions and to provide useful information about us and our industry.  We are among the top manufacturers in the CD DVD duplicators and duplication equipment industry.  All Pro Solutions has been providing high quality automated dvd duplicators worldwide for nearly a decade.  All Pro Solutions prides itself in quality, reliability, and customer support.  All customers, large or small, are treated equally at All Pro Solutions.  Not to mention, we are the only company in the industry to offer a complete 3-year warranty on the robotics without any catches or hidden fees.

The Hera series CD DVD Duplicators are explained below:

At All Pro Solutions, you will find a wide range of CD DVD duplicators.  Our DVD duplication equipment range from low-end entry-level CD duplicator systems to high-end mission critical DVD publishers with integrated CD printers and advanced networkability.  The Hera 3 DVD duplicator is a perfect example of an entry-level system.  It is a basic standalone dvd autoloader with 3 DVD drives powered by the controller board within the tower.  This autoloading system also contains a 160 GB internal hard drive for storing your data as well as an input/output capacity of 330 discs.  Operation is very simple: load blanks into bins, place master on top of blanks, then press copy.  The dvd autoloader does the rest by placing the master in a drive and loading to the hard drive in order to duplicate its content to the blanks waiting in the input bins.

There are 3 systems within the Hera Series; Hera 3 (3-drives 330 capacity), Hera 6 (6-drives 630 capacity), and the Hera 9 (9-drives 900 capacity).  The Hera systems are by far the best bang-for-your-buck systems in the entire CD DVD duplication industry.  The Hera contains an account management feature, along with a copy counter, and sticky-media separator function to separate that media that like to stick to each other.  You can also choose between single master and multi master modes (batch mode).  Bottom line, there are a lot of features packed into this inexpensive and reliable piece of machinery.
