The
most important part of your product but often overlooked or
left to the last minute is the artwork. Yet this is the first
impression you make to the recipient and as they say first impressions
count.
To make things easy we have available for download our most
popular templates. We recommend these are opened in your design
package for you to lay your design over the template to ensure
you have all the critical areas of your design to size and sufficient
bleed on the edges. If you have problems contactl us for advice
or assistance we are here to help make sure your project goes
to plan
Discus Group offer four types of printing
on the surface of the CD disc.
Digital disc printing - inkjet print on special discs
coated with an ink receptive print surface. The cheapest most
cost effective high quality disc print possible for short runs
with no minimum quantity. Gives vibrant photographic quality
print and leaves a matt finish to the disc. Note as the ink
is water soluble it may spoil if subjected to wet conditions.
Discs can be lacquered to give some resistance to moisture but
this is not a perfect solution.
Thermal Litho disc printing - Designed for Retail grade
photo quality print for short print runs of discs with no minimum
quantity. On a par with Offset Litho printing see below, but
more expensive than digital print, but used for products headed
for retail or where corporate brand is important.
Silk Screen disc printing - Requiring a day longer on
lead times than digital or thermal printing this is the most
common method of print onto discs for retail. The process involves
separating out the 4 colour channels of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow
and Black or spot colours onto films. These films are exposed
onto silk frames which are then used for printing the discs.
Generally available at 140 LPI (lines per inch). Silk screen
is best for solid colours, graphics and text.
Offset Litho disc printing - by far the best print obtained
is Litho print for photographs or fine details on discs. Output
is 195 LPI (Lines per Inch). Suitable for larger print runs
and is unrivalled on quality
CD label printing - We do not recommend the
use of sticky labels for applying designs to discs as they have
been known to peel off the disc when left in a machine which
gets hot. This leaves the distributer with a liability to repair
the recipients machine
