 Great DVD duplication in a box Aug 05, 2007
By Alan H. Treiber
"Doc In CT"
The Bravo SE disc publisher is one of those neat (if somewhat expensive) inventions that any small video production business (or business office) should have. Very easy to use (with one exception) both for creating disc labels and for duplicating and then printing CDs or DVDs. Up to 20 discs can be processed automatically (you can always add more) and is fun to watch (at least the first two times). The process is fast as it burns DVDs at 16x while simultaneous printing. I use discs from a local member only chain and the work great. One caveate, the label creation program is setup for print to the hub discs, you have to be carefull that images/text for large hub discs don't fall into the non-printing area (but you can create label templates to aid in that).

Great machine, annoying software Aug 26, 2007
By Michael Knauf
1. You need and internet connection to activate the software that comes with the printer, and you need the software to be able to use the robotic functions of the printer.
2. The printer reports it's low on ink about 100 discs before it actually runs out of ink, forcing you to either change the cartridge or click through a dialog box for each disk, so you can't leave a batch unattended.
-- Other than those annoyances, it's a great machine for the price. I've made a few thousand DVD's with printed covers and the machine has performed well.

Good for small quantities Apr 20, 2008
By DIGabs
I needed to print 250 DVDs and wanted a burner and printer that could do the job without many attention from me. With the Disc Publisher I got that, so short duplication projects are done in a reasonable time and automatically.
Only con is that it only has one cartridge, so to print black it uses all colors combination, so the normal cartridge goes very fast and it doesn't give a totally black color as with the Epson DVDs printers.

Excellent printer for DVD's and CD's Jun 11, 2008
By Douglas Dillon
"Doug Dillon"
I've been looking for something to "jazz up" my CD's and DVD's that I make at home. I'm trying to learn to use both audio editing and video editing software. I wanted something that didn't "break the bank" but yet give a semi professional appearance in what I produce. After reading and reading many reviews and blogs on the web, I finally decided on the Primera line of products. I'm glad I did!!! This is one great product. I've been so pleased. As some of the reviewers I read have said, it's just "cool" to sit and watch the little robotic arm pick up the disks and move them over. It's very fast and does a great job. The quality is excellent and the "oohs and ahhhs" haven't stopped.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone interested in making a really nice looking DVD or CD. It really works well. I've used a couple of software packages with it and you can put pictures, song lists, details about a DVD, whatever you want on the face of the disk.
I'm really glad I purchased this item and, as usual, Amazon came through with getting it to me timely and in good shape.

Great Duplicator/Printer! Jul 09, 2011
By Jimbo
"A/V Guy"
The Bravo SE was shipped from Adorama Camera, in New Jersey. I received it in 3 days.
I've been using the original Primera Bravo for many years. At the time of purchase, it was nearly state-of-the-art. Over time, I replaced the CD-ROM drive a number of times, replaced the printer drive belt and burned many coasters in the process. In short, it was a pain to use. All printer cartridges that I could buy were drying out...
It took about 15 minutes to set up the device. It came with the latest versions of firmware and application software. The older SureThing label printing software works fine with the Bravo SE and is the same version as is available on the install disc and on the Primera website.
The Bravo SE is a welcome upgrade for my business. It is fast, quiet and (so far) very reliable. It comes with a new application software interface that is easy to use. The functions mirror the older application.
The Bravo SE comes with a CD/DVD burner. A Blu-ray burner is a big step up in price. My experience with the older model indicates that I can replace the CD/DVD drive with a Blu-ray burner for about $100. If I ever need to do so, it won't break the bank.
I "discovered" that burning colored backgrounds on my CDs uses lots of ink. I just print the text instead and get long life from the ink cartridges.
The only downside I have found is that using the 'Help' function requires an Internet connection.
