Primera has announced PTPublisher, new burning and printing software for the Mac. The app is based on the Roxio burn engine and allows users to burn or print discs through any networked Primera disc publisher. A real-time status bar displays bin levels, ink levels and system errors, while administrator functions give control over an authorized user list and password assignments, as well as e-mailed status notifications.

The program supports CD, DVD and Blu-ray formats, along with up to 10 different languages including English, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese and Chinese. It lastly comes with an automatic updater, and an integrated label design tool called DiscCover, meant for direct-to-disc printing. PTPublisher is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, and priced at $600 for new users. A free 30-day trial is available for download.
