GX-1 gains Mac support

Microboards Technology has released GX-1 Disc Publisher with Mac support for disc printing and recording. "Strong support for Mac users has been a longtime shortcoming in our industry", said John Westrum, Microboards' CTO. "The few solutions available in the market fell far short of user expectations, so we worked hard to produce a more user-friendly solution." The udpate offers the ability to design labels in standard applications, enabling users to link virtually any file type to use as the label from the included recording software. Microboards has co-developed the Mac solution with Hewlett Packard, which also provides the print engine for the GX-1 publisher. That inkjet engine is partially responsible for gains in print time and quality, according to Microboards, with improved handling of the disc under the print head. GX-1 is available for $2,300, and supports DVD as well as CD recording at high speeds (system requirements were unavailable)
