NOTES:
All DVDs are created with the utmost of care, using absolute top-of-the-line
hardware and software, for the very best quality possible. The
DVDs I create can be on either DVD-R or DVD+R media, and will
be region-code free, CSS free, and macrovision free.
Discs are burned on the ultra-reliable Ritek brand media, which
has proven time and time again to be the absolute most compatible
brand of blank DVD media (thousands of discs burned, not a single
complaint that the disc won't play in a DVD-R compatible player).
DVD+R media available upon request.
Insert artwork is printed on ultra-high quality matte finish
paper (glossy paper available upon request) at 1200dpi on an 8-color
inkjet printer. DVD labels printed on matte finish, full-coverage
labels at 1200dpi.
I have 20 years experience with Apple and Macintosh computers,
the quality of my work is guaranteed. I take great pride in my
work, and do each job as if it were being done for myself.
If you have any further questions, please let me know. Otherwise,
if you'd like to hire me for my services, please email
me back with further details of the job (what it involves,
how long (in minutes) the project is, when you need it, how many
copies, etc.
Sincerely,
Steve Caraco
