GARDEN GROVE, CA January 8, 2004 Kano Technologies introduced Kano ArchivMedia DVD+R double-sided (DS) media at MacWorld (in San Francisco) and CES (in Las Vegas) this week. The first double-sided DVD+ media in the market, it is extremely accurate, durable and reliable. Kano teamed with Verbatim to develop ArchivMedia DVD+R DS media for use with Kano XFiniti optical libraries. However, it is also compatible with all DVD+ recorders and players. ArchivMedia will be manufactured by Verbatim for Kano.

"Kano selected Verbatim to develop and produce ArchivMedia because the patented Verbatim Metal Azo(TM) recording dye is extremely durable and stable," said Robert Young, Kano's national sales director. "This gives our media an exceptionally long life, which is critical for archiving. It also maintains the best possible recording compatibility with all DVD+R recorders and players."

"This is our first ArchivMedia product," continued Young. "Our goal with this product line is to offer the best possible media, both in quality and reliability, for archival applications."

All ArchivMedia DVD+R DS media is inspected and checked for defects prior to packaging and is backed with a limited lifetime guarantee.
