FALCON TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL BUILDS A PARTNERSHIP ON QUALITY, TAPPING CD DIMENSIONS TO RESELL/DISTRIBUTE FALCON PRO MEDIA RECORDABLE DISCS
--Broad Range of Leading-Quality Falcon Printable Surface DVD, CD and Blu-ray Disc Recording Media Now Available to CD Dimensions Customers--
RAK-United Arab Emirates, April 21, 2008 - Falcon Technologies International (FTI), the worldwide leading manufacturer of optical data storage discs for professional and archival applications, today announced that it has tapped CD Dimensions to resell and distribute a wide range of Falcon Pro Media recordable DVD-R, CD-R and Blu-ray Disc solutions. Built on the companies' mutual commitment to quality, the partnership makes Falcon Pro Media products easily available to CD Dimensions' large customer base, including business end-users, duplication service bureaus and resellers.
"We are pleased to welcome CD Dimensions, Inc. as a reseller and distributor of Falcon Pro optical recording media solutions," said Mr. Adel Michael, co-founder and CEO of Falcon Technologies International (FTI). "Both of our companies are leaders in providing the highest quality recording solutions available. Our relationship with CD Dimensions gives us access their extensive customer base of business end-users, disc duplication service bureaus and resellers."
"Offering quality and industry-leading media products has always been CD Dimensions' number one mission," said Gina Calabro, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at CD Dimensions, Inc. "With the new line of Falcon Pro Media products we can now offer our customers a superior alternative for their professional and archival media needs."
CD Dimensions customers can currently choose from a wide range of Falcon Pro Media solutions, designed to provide stunningly vivid and crisp printing results with today's disc printing devices. All Falcon printable surface discs feature print-to-the-hub formulations. Each disc can be printed all the way to its hub to maximize visual impact. Discs are available for inkjet and thermal disc printers, with silver and white surfaces to accommodate diverse printing needs.
Following is a breakdown of the Falcon Pro Media solutions currently offered by CD Dimensions:
FTI's printable surface discs are the ideal solutions for professional disc duplication and printing applications. The discs combine best-in-class printing capabilities with exceptional recording and playback performance. The surfaces are designed to dry quickly and lock-in vivid color.
Falcon Pro Media DVD-R, CD-R and Blu-ray Disc recording media solutions are designed to unyielding quality standards. To ensure absolute quality consistency, all FTI media is manufactured by highly skilled staff at a single state-of-the-art facility in the UAE. Only FTI recording media solutions provide Certified Swiss Quality (CSQ), validated by the company's certification by Swiss ISO organizations, considered among the world's most stringent.
The unique inorganic recording material formulation deployed for FTI's recordable Blu-ray Discs helps achieve exceptional stability for longer archival and superior data protection. By partnering with a leading Blu-ray technology provider, FTI has positioned itself on the leading edge of Blu-ray technology.
Additional Media Solutions for Professional and Archival Applications
Along with its printable surface discs, FTI offers a complete line of recording media specially designed and developed for the most demanding professional and archival applications. Key FTI advancements include a 24k gold reflective layer formulation that gives discs a more than 300 year archival lifespan, and the company's Ultra Hard Coat (UHC) anti-scratch protection.
With its innovative formulations, FTI has achieved an archival lifespan of more than 300 years for FalconMedia Full Gold EP recordable CD-R media, and more than 100 years for FalconMedia Gold EP recordable DVD-R media. A 24k gold reflective layer provides maximum resistance to degradation caused by environmental factors such as corrosion, a major cause of failure in standard media. Both solutions have been subjected to accelerated aging conditions, confirming the discs' archival life-spans.
FTI's Ultra Hard Coat (UHC) anti-scratch protection is the most reliable solution to protect mission-critical data against potential disc surface contaminants and mishandling. Applied to the media's polycarbonate layer during the manufacturing process, UHC technology increases the disc's scratch resistance and also helps fend off other contaminants such as smudges from fingerprints.
