Equipment Details

Downstream Ltd has a wide range of equipment. These are some of the main items which are used in the course of duplicating and sound recording.
Our first duplicating system is a CopyPro MiniMax with three disc drives and a PowerPro black thermal CD printer. This has two Pioneer CD/DVD burners and we have added a Plextor CD burner especially for making audio CDs. The system is fully automated, duplicating and printing up to 100 discs in each batch without any operator intervention.

The FlashJet 4800 is the most advanced CD/DVD color imager ever manufactured by R-Quest Technologies . It delivers all the performance you need for high-volume, high-quality disc printing. With incredible 4800 dpi print resolution - the best in the world - all of your discs will have the sharpest text, graphics and photos. Colours are bright, vibrant and truly photo-quality. Your discs will look highly professional, creating a positive, lasting impression.

The recent purchase of an automated R-Quest TCP-7200 duplicator with Teac printer now provides the option of either doubling throughput or running two jobs at once, achieving greater efficiency and a faster turnround for customers. This machine can handle batches of up to 200 discs at a time.
The new Teac P-55 thermal transfer colour printer enables us to offer full-colour thermal on-disc printing. This state-of-the-art machine has redefined the industry standard. The revolutionary new printing system uses dye sublimation to produce outstanding photo-quality images at 400 dpi - the highest resolution available today in thermal printing and a great improvement on screen printing.
The finished image is permanent and UV stable, so it doesn't smear and it doesn't fade. Best of all, the printer works in conjunction with the automated duplicating system, enabling fast, top-quality results to be obtained in quantities from a single disc to several thousands.
The Soundfield microphone is one of the highest quality mics ever produced. It has four matched capsules and is designed to capture sound in three dimensions to produce surround sound. However, it is also extremely effective at producing a highly accurate point source stereo signal.
