Purchase CD Disc Printers
Blu-ray, DVD and CD disc printers are able to transfer user-created or selected text, graphics and images right onto the top surface of the media storage format. Broadly speaking, there are two separate technologies that compact disc printers use. Inkjet technology employs an ink cartridge, while the thermal process uses a fine ribbon made of film to create a professional-quality final product.
Users can take advantage of imaging software to create the top surface design, which should be considered in advance of selecting the printing method to be used. The inkjet process is the most affordable, producing results of standard quality and offering excellent color mixing capabilities. Many professional CD producers favor the thermal process, as its results last longer and often achieve a smoother look on the disc's top surface.
Thermal Retransfer CD Disc Printers
The most advanced form of CD disc printer is the thermal retransfer variant. It offers users many advantages, including:
- Dual ribbon technology for better image resolution
- Best image durability of any method
- Silkscreen image quality
These advantages should be weighed against the cost. Thermal retransfer technology requires the highest initial investment, and supplies and accessories have higher upkeep costs than the other methods. However, when image quality is the most important consideration and cost is secondary, this is the method of choice for most professionals.
