Using heavily modified inkjet printers, blank CDs and DVDs are placed, using robotics, onto a caddy which clamps the disc and passes under the print head, to print in the same way as a standard piece of paper.
Because the ink is water based, after printing we apply a protective UV curable lacquer coating to each disc, sealing the image so it becomes scratch-resistant and waterproof.
When to use ?
High quality photographic images
Photographs, are particularly suited to Inkjet Printing.
Tough gloss/sheen finish
A special UV curable lacquer is applied to each printed disc making it waterproof as well as giving it a scratch-resistant coating.
Color Matching
It is possible to get extremely close to your specific chosen colours, to match other printed material for example.
Different disc type
As well as standard 12cm discs, we are also able to print onto 8cm discs and CD Business cards.
Cost on low volumes
Best colour print process for low volumes as no need for expensive films or screens as with screen and offset printing.
Print only?
Discs can be supplied blank, but printed. Maybe you have your own duplicator or you burn 'one-offs' for distribution.
