Disc publishing leader to provide duplication services for NLC training DVDs

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - April 26, 2008 - The National Law Center for Children and Families (NLC) is proud to announce an in-kind donation of services from Rimage Corporation, a leading manufacturer of on-demand disc publishing solutions. Rimage has agreed to donate DVD duplication services to the National Law Center, which will distribute training DVDs for prosecutors and law enforcement officers as they combat child sexual exploitation. 

Since June, 2006, the National Law Center has trained nearly 1000 law enforcement professionals and prosecutors on child sexual exploitation crimes in seminars from coast to coast. In an effort to provide this valuable information to these public servants, the NLC recorded its training program last summer. The Rimage donation of services will help NLC eliminate disc duplication expenses and will enable the organization to distribute more training DVDs this year.

"Rimage is pleased to support the National Law Center in its efforts to educate law enforcement and prosecutors across the nation who defend children and families," said Kevin Gramer, director of government sales for Rimage. "It's rewarding to know we are helping to combat crimes against children."

"We are grateful for Rimage's support as we continue our work defending children across the country," said Richard R. Whidden, Jr., NLC Executive Director. "We thank Rimage for its generous contribution and look forward to an ongoing and productive relationship."

Since 1978, Rimage Corporation (www.rimage.com) has been the world's leading innovator of recordable media publishing solutions. Rimage was the first in the industry to combine robotics, software and surface label printers into a complete digital publishing process. Today, Rimage systems can be found all over the world, serving 67 of the Fortune 100 companies.
