Rimage Catalyst™ is the perfect hybrid of the rugged durability of Producer systems, with the features of a Professional system. The robustness Catalyst shares with Producer allows Catalyst to operate in less than ideal environments while still being easy to maintain. With reliability as the foundation for Catalyst systems, other features and quality of life improvements were then added as the system was developed, based on user feedback gathered since the Professional series was launched. This offers an ideal package to customers who require the highest performance but do not have the high volume requirements to justify a Producer system.
Chris Heim, CEO of Rimage, explains, "Catalyst, as its name implies, is designed to be a change-agent for our market. We analyzed everything - customer feedback, market trends, service logs, printing preferences, component durability, and usage patterns. Starting from the ground up, we engineered a new system that incorporates our most durable components, interchangeable printers, air filtration innovations, new usability features, and a small-footprint frame. Catalyst is a best-in-class system that is unlike anything else in the market."

Filtered Positive Airflow
The Rimage Catalyst™ series introduces filtered positive airflow into the Rimage product line, offering reliability in environments where dust or debris in the air would normally cripple sensitive robotic systems. Air for cooling is pulled into the system through a commonly available filter, driven by the system's fan. This increases air pressure inside the system, preventing nearly all dust and dirt that would find its way inside. Air leaving the system is actively pushed out due to this air pressure, effectively restricting debris from coming into through system vents.
Tests showed that even with an 80% blocked filter, Rimage Catalyst systems are able to operate normally. Please note that Rimage recommends checking and changing the filter regularly to ensure the filter remains clean, for optimal performance and continued operations. The Rimage Catalyst series is ideal for reliable operations even in challenging environmental conditions.
