Delkin Devices Introduces Inkjet Versions Of The Popular eFilm Archival Gold CD-R
Delkin Devices, Inc., maker of premium quality eFilm memory cards and other innovative digital photography products, today introduced inkjet printable versions of its popular eFilm Archival Gold "300-Year" CD-R. The eFilm Inkjet Archival Gold CD-R is now shipping to distributors and resellers all over the world. Many camera stores and mini-labs already use high quality inkjet printers, as the Primera Z6 inkjet CD/DVD printer, for commercial purposes. Offering a museum quality CD- R such as the Inkjet Archival CD-R as an option for their customers provides these resellers a competitive advantage over the mass merchandisers. eFilm Archival Gold CD-R met enthusiastic acceptance when it was released last fall, which makes it a natural choice for the photography market's inkjet requirements.
Consumers enjoy personalizing their own CD-Rs, which is another factor Delkin considered in bringing the Inkjet Archival Gold CD-R to market. The advent of good quality, inexpensive consumer printers such as Epson's Stylus Photo R200, R300, R320 and others drive more and more people to look for CD-Rs they can print their own designs on. The eFilm Archival Gold CD-R is a unique product that brings repeat business to the camera store, since it's not available at the mass merchandisers.
eFilm Inkjet Archival Gold CD-R's incorporate patented Phthalocyanine (thalo-sy-a-neen) dye and a 24k gold reflective layer into every CD-R. The innovative materials found in eFilm Inkjet Archival Gold CD-R's make them among the most reliable storage media available. Other CD-R's may deteriorate quickly due to common environmental factors: ultra violet light, heat, and humidity. Results of an accelerated aging process used to test the longevity of CD-R media show eFilm Inkjet Archival Gold CD-R's may safely store images for more than 300 years.
Gold is one of the most inert and expensive elements on earth. Thirty percent of Delkin's cost to produce every eFilm Archival Gold disc is due to the use of 24 karat gold. Gold's inert characteristics prevent oxidation, a common cause of failure to most CD-Rs. Along with the Phthalocyanine dye and gold reflective layer, eFilm Archival Gold CD-R's provide the most reliable protection for digital images from environmental degradation.
