Inkjet Printing
Inkjet printing sprays extremely small droplets of ink from jets onto the surface of an inkjet printable CD. After the printing process the CDs are protected with a coating of a gloss UV varnish making the CDs less vulnerable to smudging and scratches.

Inkjet printing is ideal for any artwork and as it has the advantage of low set up costs and a low minimum volume run.

See example to the right.

Digital Printing
Digital printing uses a digital imaging process that transfers the image directly onto the disc without the need for traditional offset rollers and plates.

Digital printing is ideal for very quick short runs or for personalised print and has the advantage of low set up costs and a low minimum volume run.

See example to the right.

Litho Printing
Litho printing uses a technique where the inked image is placed on a printing plate (usually zinc/aluminium) in a series of dots, made from Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (CMYK). this is then imprinted on a rubber cylinder and then transferred (offset) to the disc.

Litho printing is an ideal method of print for images with gradients of colour. The image must be supplied as 'pixel' artwork made from CMYK separations.

See example to the right.

Screen Printing
Screen printing uses a technique where ink is pushed through a nylon or polyester screen. The result is a perfect crisp edge.

Screen printing is an ideal method of print for block colour artwork. The logo must be supplied as 'vector' artwork and coloured in Pantone Solid Coated colours.
