The thermal print uses heat and pressure to decorate the disc. The thermal printhead melts wax-based ink from a transfer ribbon onto the disc surface, leaving a scratch and water resistant image.
When to use ?
Great for simple text Thermal transfer is perfect for printing text (size 10pt and above) directly to the disc surface.
Very fast printing
On average, the time taken to print a disc is about 10 seconds.
Tough finish
Scratch and water resistant finish, directly onto the mirrored disc surface.
Print only?
Discs can be supplied blank, but printed. Maybe you have your own duplicator or you burn 'one-offs' for distribution.
Overprint screen printed discs
It's possible to thermal overprint onto an already screen printed surface, provided a special 'thermal coating' has been layed down first.
Evaluation discs
Sample discs can be supplied for evaluation, prior to your job being run.
Cost on low volumes
The cheapest and simplest way to label your discs, but only in BLACK!
Note: We only thermal print onto standard 12cm discs, and in black.
