Abstract

See full text

Recording media press systems and methods of operating such press systems. Embodiments of a press system include a first and second die at least one of which is configured to be coupled to an embossing foil. A stopper may be used to space the embossing foil apart from a magnetic recording disk disposed within the press system by a predetermined gap when the die set is in a closed position. In an embodiment, a piston disposed within at least one of the first and second die is moved relative to the first and second die to press the embossing foil against the magnetic recording disk after the die set stopped in the closed position by the stopper.
