Purchase DVD Disc Printers

Generally speaking, DVD disc printers are powered by either inkjet or thermal technologies. More specifically, there are two different types of thermal technology utilized by disc printers: transfer and retransfer. The differences between these processes are significant, and the best technique to use depends on the complexity of the color, text and images to be added to the DVD top surface, as well as budgetary considerations.

Inkjet models use cartridges to achieve color representation, but need to be used on DVDs with surfaces specially designed to absorb the wet ink. Consumers have a wide range of resolution options available to them, and these printers make an economical choice while offering very good color blending capabilities.

The thermal process is ribbon-based rather than cartridge-based, and tends to produce results that are longer-lasting. Transfer models use a single ribbon, while systems utilizing the more complex retransfer technologies use two ribbons, which allows for better color mixing capability. In general, thermal DVD disc printers tend to be more expensive than inkjet ones, with the more advanced retransfer models priced at the high end of the range.
