DVD Printing
Discus Group offer the following 4 print methods
Offset Litho Print - The highest quality print
method for photographic images or where a vingette is used in
the design. Output at 195 lpi gives the best print results.
Offset printing gives the best results and offers the following
advantages, Consistent high image quality and the more you print
the less you pay.
Silk
Screen - Retail grade print method used for large print
runs. Best suited to text, graphics and solid colours or where
a pantone is required. Output is 135 lpi giving high quality
permanent print results and is more cost effective than Offset
Litho Print.
Litho Thermal Print - High quality permanent disc printing
method suitable for shorter print runs where retail quality
is a must. Perfect for short runs or quick turnaround times
as printing is straight from artwork disc to print.
Digital Print - sometimes called Digital disc printing
- Photo quality print direct to the face of the DVD, using inkjet
dvd printing. Our budget print option which is the cheapest
most cost effective high quality disc print possible for short
runs with no minimum quantity. Digial DVD printing 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.
DVD Label Printing - we do not recommend stick on labels
to customers due to the many disadvantages they have and time
taken to apply.

as they say first impressions count.

bleed on the edges. If you have problems contactl us for advice

Discus Group offer four types of printing
on the surface of the DVD 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 longer lead times
than digital cd print or thermal cd print 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 135 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
DVD 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
