High-capacity tapes for high-powered applications Proprietary backcoating:

• Protects against static electricity, impressions, and scratches
• Absorbs debris safely to decrease the chance for errors
• Minimizes inter-layer slippage for uniform signal output

Advanced metal particulate media formulation:

• Smaller, more densely packed particles for long-lasting, high-quality recording

Imation worked with IBM to develop the next generation of half-inch tape cartridge technology. What did they come up with? The Black Watch 3590 and 3590E cartridges. You'll enjoy greater reliability between drive and media, faster data transfer rates, and individual capacities up to 40GB (uncompressed) in a high-capacity tape with performance that won't let you down.

• Native Capacity up to 110GB
• Transfer Rates up to 11MB/sec
• Patented Ceramic Coated Metal Particle Tape
• "Minimum of 1,000,000 Passes
• Factory Security Seal

Custom Barcode Labeling Service Available

The development of a new tape formulation has enabled EMTEC to produce MTC's with greater long term stability. The use of ultra-pure materials result in new standards of life expectancy and stability against climatic conditions for magnetic tapes. We are using an ultra-stabilized magnetic surface and moisture-protected BASF chromium dioxide pigment with extremely low remanence losses.

Optimum Performance:
Continous sample testing on 3480/3490 original and compatible drives guarantees a performance of at least 25GB/TWE for the BASF EXTRA and 50GB/TWE for the BASF MAXIMA (IBM industry norm: 6 GB/TWE).

BASF MTC XL 1GB = 200MB more storage capacity. Significantly more storage capacity per cartridge for IBM 3480E and all compatible drives. The high capacity BASF MTC EXTRA XL substantially reduces costs of system, operation and archiving. And there's no need for an expensive adjustment to the microcode in the drive.

Greatest Reliability:
The uncompromising Accelerated Drive Test, in which the MTC is subjected to a simulation of the toughest conditions of use, and also the most stringent quality controls prove it: The BASF 3480/3490MTC generation offers the greatest freedom from errors and the highest reliability, bothin constant use and in long term archiving.

The EMTC classic CD-R Specially suited for writing speeds from 1x to 12x. Available with capacities of 650MB/74 Minutes and 700MB/80 Minutes. In addition to the traditional Jewel Case, the CD-R Extra is also availible in the innovative Clip Tray.
