TuffCoat with AquaGuard

has announced its new TuffCoat with AquaGuard surface by Imation water-resistant media, which it says is "the world's first" water-resistant and smear-resistant inkjet-printable CD-R and DVD-R media. The AquaGuard surface, developed by Imation and incorporated into Primera's TuffCoat media, offers water and smear resistance, which is achieved by using a proprietary surface that utilizes nanoparticle technology to grip and hold ink. The discs also feature better color reproduction and sharper images on its pure white surface, providing the contrast and illumination for better color reproduction, according to the company. All of Primera's inkjet-based disc duplication and printing equipment support the new TuffCoat with AquaGuard surface media, including the Bravo II, BravoPro and Bravo XR Disc Publishers as well as the Signature-series inkjet CD/DVD printers. TuffCoat discs are due at the end of the month. (Pricing not available.)
