New KODAK Professional Grade Discs Offer quality recording and 100-year life

CES – Las Vegas — New KODAK Professional Grade CD-Rs and DVD-Rs are now available for the growing number of photographers, music studios, and other businesses and professionals who want higher quality discs that will safely store their images, videos and data for up to 100 years.

“We are introducing these new, professional grade discs for those who can’t take a chance on short-lived silver CD-Rs.,” said Steve Mizelle, President of KMP Media. The firm operates under trademark license from Eastman Kodak Company.

The new 100-year CDs and DVDs are designed for professionals such as photographers, musicians, physicians, law enforcement officers and administrators who store their work on discs. The discs combine superior recording quality with durability that will protect images, sound and data for 100 years. Only archival KODAK 24K Gold Preservation CDs last longer. 

The advanced discs are manufactured using a patented, oxidation-resisting gold metallurgy process. This produces enhanced electrical properties, long archival life, significant reductions in error rates and the fastest write speeds available in archival media.

The disc’s proprietary reflective surface alloy and high quality dye layer provides quality storage that is far superior to traditional silver discs. Silver discs also can deteriorate quickly when exposed to heat, humidity and ultraviolet light and many last only five years or less.

For long-term storage, the KODAK Professional Grade Disc can be placed in a new KODAK Archival Jewel Case, specifically designed for storing important CDs and DVDs. The archival case is made of non-gassing polypropylene and vented to release heat and humidity. The case will withstand up to 200 pounds of pressure if stepped on.

Inside the case is a floating design feature that that suspends the disc above the surface to prevent scratching. A patented one-touch release mechanism frees the disc from the mount to eliminate bending of the disc during removal.

KMP Media also offers other premium products, such as KODAK Gold Preservation System CD-Rs and DVD-Rs that combine high quality storage with a useful life of 300 years or more for CDs and 100 for DVDs.

The firm also offers KODAK Blu-Ray DVDs with approximately 25 GB of storage space and high-definition HD-DVDs with15 GB capacity. In addition, KMP Media offers the KODAK LightScribe disc, which enables users to burn a silk-screen-like label on the topside of a CD or DVD.
