We offer tailored solutions for all your disc printing needs.

 
Inkjet Printing

Inkjet printing for CDs is provided by using discs that have a special optimised print surface. This method of printing is ideal for smaller print runs where due to the relatively small setup costs, it can be surprisingly cost effective.

By utilising the latest in inkjet technology we ensure your discs will provide you with crisp and vibrant colours for the ultimate professional look. To add that finishing touch, a UV lacquer is applied to all discs to obtain a durable, glossy and smudge resistant finish.

Screen Printing

Silk Screen Printing is regarded as the industry standard when printing CDs.
 

Silk screen printing can be printed directly onto the reflective silver surface to achieve a slightly metallic finish or alternatively onto a white base coat to give the colours improved contrast. Not using a white base coat can result in the finished item having a translucent finish. This decision will ultimately be decided by the style of artwork to be printed.
 

The process of Silk Screen Printing falls into one of two categories, Spot Colour or process CMYK.
 
Spot colour is utilised where the artwork consists of just a few colours or individually mixed inks printed in blocks or tones. The spot colour range corresponds to the Pantone Solid Coated range or Solid Un-coated range (which is replicated by adding a matt finish), this is a standard colour matching system used by the printing industry for inks, papers and other materials.
 

Process CMYK is used when the artwork design is a picture or multi-coloured image. The image to be used is separated into the component colours of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black and the colours are produced by printing rows of dots at different angles.

Offset Printing

Offset printing provides a much greater colour resolution and is therefore ideal for photographic images, skin tones, full colour graphics and smaller text.

This process uses a CMYK print onto a white base to give you a full colour range choice.

Colour Matching
 

We are happy to provide a colour matching service. If you have a specific colour for a design idea (company stationary, logos, products, textiles etc). Just supply us with a sample and we'll do the rest.

We assess every print job individually and recommend the print process that will provide you with the best results.
