Disc2Day CD DVD Duplication News

A thermal transfer print is a Disc printing process in which the printer prints on thermocromic disc surface by melting a coating of ribbon so that it stays glued to the material on which the print is applied. This process is the highest quality CD printing or DVD printing that you can print on a CD-R or DVD-R. The quality is 173 Dots Per Inch (for full colors), with a gloss finish and as well as smudge proof (water proof). This print is actually a higher resolution than the industry standard Silk Screen which is done at 125 DPI. In contrast to thermal prints, Inkjet printers work by placing extremely tiny droplets of liquid ink onto the disc surface. If you look closely on the printed surface, you will see tiny dots. Though, there are lots of disadvantages on inkjet prints. One major disadvantage is ink bleeding, where ink is carried sideways away from the desired location. It leaves a muddy appearance. Also, it is not waterproof, even the smallest drop of water can cause blurring and running. At Disc2day, we use the highest quality thermal print on discs!
