Printing CD and DVD - Choosing the best print method for your job Duplication CD or DVD

When it comes to CD and DVD Printing Nowadays there are so many choices that, contrary to the impression paper (where size and cost performance are the main factors), you face an impressive selection of Litho, screen, inkjet, digital printing and thermal CDs and DVDs or even a combination of 2 or more of these. DVD replication is fairly simple - data is either there (and it works!) or not. The impression of your double DVD or CD is what set it apart millions of records of others out there.

So how do you determine what is best for your run CD or DVD?

As a guide basic, stick to the following principles must be solid color screen printed, as well as Pantone. CD & DVD artwork compound photos or CMYK mix with lots of ticks and shades will look better printed litho printed or better yet using the new generation UV CD and DVD printers. One of the best examples of this new printing process is a new printer developed by Sun Chemical, resolution, a vibrant color and glossy finish gives a 3D image discs almost feel for them.

Screenprinting requires a work of art to be split into constituent colors. A film is then exposed to each of these colors (usually including a white base). From this film screen is done is a square of 12 cm with the porous area not to be printed is an area that is not permeable. 1 color of ink is forced through the mesh with a rubber blade (known as a scraper) on the disc surface. Screen printers can have up 5 colors, applied one after another. Once the ink has been applied, the disc is passed under a UV lamp powerful healing ink, it solidifies. This method allows for some creativity, such as not applying ink in some areas, revealing the layer silver disc below, or application of special coatings to give specific areas of hard, high gloss or matte finish instead.

lithographic printing is also beginning to show photographic plates used to generate. By litho (Also known more correctly offset), printing consists of 4 colors, cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK), also generally base.Artwork on white is separated into these basic colors and 4 plates exposed films are made. This ink was applied on the rubber rollers and Then choose the ink in place, it reapply to the disc surface. Once the 4 colors were applied sequentially, the hard disk is also under strong UV light.

The latest generation of digital printers use disk heal UV ink and print heads that are similar to many consumer inkjet, but on a much larger scale. Each color is applied by 8 separate counts which significantly increases the resolution and variable droplet size allows for greater variation in tone. A digital printer like this can print 1200 discs per hour compared to a consumer inkjet 30 or so. Once the ink was applied to a white base, it passes under a UV light to be cured in a solid finish, lustrous and durable.

Inkjet and Thermal Print offer a cost effective solution for very small sets of colors printed CD & DVD and the time is normally a matter of hours rather in a few days, so it depends of course in the size of the facility duplication.

Inkjet Printers use the same technology as in consumer printers, with a basket modified to take a hard, hard, and sometimes automated loading and unloading.

Heat (or thermal transfer) displays the image using a color film that is applied using a method to high temperature. This is a particularly costly and inefficient to print discs as there are plenty of film waste from areas of the disk that is not printed. There is also a very slow process.

Pantone solid colors and should be avoided with the impression either inkjet or thermal will be difficult to match Pantone solid colors and will feature bands or lines.

A professional duplicator will not only offer one of these methods, but also be able to advise on which method is best for your design.
