VIP Special for June 2011

Place your order in June 2011 to take advantage of this month's VIP Special offer from CDwest.ca

Two FREE order add-ons instead of just one!

As a CDwest.ca VIP Member you already get access to one free order add-on or incentive when you place an order with us, but this month you get two.

Choose two of the following free add-ons:

• (a) Up to *100 free posters
• (b) Up to *$100 shipping credit
• (c) Up to *100 extra packaged units

*Note: The quantity or amount of your free add-ons (ie: number of posters, amount of shipping credit, or number of extra packaged units) is determined by the quantity of units you have ordered. The ratio is based on 10%, but is capped at the quantity of 100, or amount of $100, as noted above.

So, as an example:

• If you ordered 300 units your FREE add-ons would equate to 30 units for the posters or extra packaged units, and $30 for the shipping credit amount.
• If you ordered 500 units your FREE add-ons would equate to 50 units for the posters or extra packaged units, and $50 for the shipping credit amount.

You must be a CDwest.ca VIP Member in order to qualify for this offer, but becoming a VIP is very easy to do, it's completely FREE, and you can choose to opt-out at any time. Learn more and sign up today.

Questions? Please contact us and we’ll be happy to help!

Recording Studio Referral Program

In an effort to provide recording studios with an opportunity to explore a new revenue stream, CDwest.ca has recently launched a Recording Studio Referral Program where recording studios earn cash or credits-on-account for referrals that place CD manufacturing orders with us.

The program is designed to be simple and care-free so there's no obligation or contract to sign and the recording studios don't have to act as a middle-man between their clients and us. We work directly with the clients and the studios get rewarded for the referral - it's as easy as that!

As a member of the Program you will be given a unique referral identification number that you give to your client which they, in turn, provide to us on their CD manufacturing order forms.

Program members earn a 10% referral reward based on:

• The regular retail price of our products and services (not applicable to special offers or discounted items). 
• The net cost of the products/services only (not applicable to tax or shipping costs).

Here's an example of the commission based on our very popular style CS1000 Digipak:

• 1000 units: Retail $1.49 per unit (referral reward: $149.00)
• 500 units: Retail $2.31 per unit (referral reward: $115.50)
• 300 units: Retail $2.99 per unit (referral reward: $89.70)
• 100 units: Retail $3.99 per unit (referral reward: $39.90)

March VIP Special - And Taking A Stand Against Cruelty To Animals

Place your CD manufacturing or CD duplication order this month (March 2011) to take advantage of our VIP Member Special:

Take 5% off the regular retail price of any standard CD manufacturing or CD duplication product ... PLUS ... we will make a donation on your behalf to the BC SPCA.

“The incident that occurred in Whistler, B.C. certainly brought much needed attention to the topic of animal welfare,” states Mike Arnold, CDwest.ca General Manager, “but when the spotlight of the media turns away to another story animal welfare issues do not suddenly stop. Due to this we’d like to do our part to help create awareness of ongoing animal welfare issues as well as donating to the BC SPCA to fund their crucial work.”

All donated funds help to pay for the care and protection of nearly 37,000 domestic, farm and wild animals the SPCA cares for each year in British Columbia. This includes funding of the BC SPCA’s cruelty investigations department which conducts nearly 6,000 cruelty investigations a year and is reliant on donations from the public to continue its work.

KBA 74 Karat Eco-Friendly Printer

CDwest.ca is the audio division of Precision Disc Manufacturing Corp., and we are pleased to announce the purchase of a KBA 74 Karat 29” waterless digitally integrated offset press.

The KBA 74 Karat is considered to be one of the ‘greenest’ print presses on the planet and, while we definitely require an environmentally-friendly printer for our product line of DVD and CD eco-packaging solutions, the KBA 74 Karat also delivers very high quality print reproduction for our discerning clientele.

“We’re delighted to have been able to purchase this particular press.” states company president Paul Durnie, “It fits perfectly into our mandate for environmentally responsible technology and processes, and it’s the perfect fit for growing our print division and new ‘green’ product offerings. The press-sheet size, quick make-ready and printer speed made the 74 Karat a must-have for us.”

For a 29” printer of this calibre, the KBA 74 Karat has a very compact footprint (12’-9” long, 7’-3” wide and 7’-0” tall) and everything about this printer is designed for efficiency and user-friendliness. For example, the machine holds two cassettes of imaging plates (sufficient to print 10 jobs) which are imaged and changed automatically within the printer.

A complete job change with automated plate change, imaging and inking only takes about 15 minutes, with a maximum of just ten make-ready sheets. That’s quite amazing for an offset printer, when you think of the waste that is prevented by such efficient operation and technology.

And speaking of efficiency, the KBA 74 Karat has a maximum production speed of 10,000 sheets per hour, with waterless offset plates that can allow print-runs of up to 100,000 copies.

This press does away with paper waste, ink sludge, toxic cleaners and chemical developers that are typically associated with offset printing. Through its use of soy based inks, completely waterless printing technology, and inline aqueous coating, the KBA 74 Karat provides the highest quality eco-friendly print solutions you’ll find anywhere without sacrificing print quality one bit!

When combined with Precision Disc’s existing Indigo printers, not only does the KBA 74 Karat enhance our print production capacity and speed, the 29” press sheet also increases the number of products we can provide.

Printer features and highlights:

• Waterless offset – brilliant colour, sharp dots
• Soft reproduction of the finest gradients
• No ghosting
• Superb solids
• In-line water based (aqueous) finishing.
• Solid densities and tone reproduction to ISO 12647-1/2/3
• Make-ready: 10 sheets
• Press dimensions (L x W x H): 12’-9” x 7’-3” x 7’-0”
• Weight: 26,500 pounds
• Power: 65kVA
• Max sheet size: 29.125” x 20.5”
• Max speed: 10,000 sph (job dependent)
• Resolution: 100 dots/mm = 2,540 dpi
• RIP: Creo Brisque
