Conclusion

The Disc Publisher SE is not a product for the average home user, rather is designed for companies who require such a unit to provide their customers with all kind of information in an amount where it isn’t reliable to pay for producing pressed discs.

We have burned/printed more than 100 discs with the Disc Publisher SE Blu and overall we can say that we where impressed by the performance of the Device. A well guided and easy installation procedure combined with very easy to use software and a good CD/DVD/BD burner makes the Disc Publisher SE Blu to an interesting product and almost everybody with little computer knowledge should be able to create professional looking audio, video and data CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs.

The Robotics of the Disc Publisher SE is working very precise and the device doesn’t require much space in an office due its compact design.

Also the quality tests on our printable CD/DVD and Blu-ray media show that the used Panasonic SW - 5582 CD/DVD/Blu-ray burner was a good choice and that a consumer doesn’t have to worry about bad writing quality on his discs. One thing some one could complain about is that the burner doesn’t meet with the specs of nowadays standard anymore. But to all those we can say that Primera has already updated the burner to the more actual Panasonic SW - 5583 CD/DVD/BD burner.

Of course, we have also found some negative points regarding this unit and for us the most important is that a system at such a price level comes with a three colour (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) ink cartridge. Of course, this unit isn’t a photo printer where five or six different colours are useful but even an additional black cartridge would help the user to save some money and we don’t think that it can be a big problem to add such a cartridge.

To sum it up, this is what we would say: "The Primera Disc Publisher SE Blu is a very easy to use and excellent performing device which combines high printing and burning quality. The Primera Disc Publisher SE Blu is recommended to everybody who has the need of such a device.

We where so impressed by the performance of the Disc Publisher SE Blu that we decided to award the Primera Disc Publisher SE Blu with the CD Freaks “Editor’s Choice Award”
