Inkjet CD and DVD Printing vs. Labels
Posted on Wed, Nov 30, 2011 @ 05:40 PM
When doing DVD and CD duplication one important aspect to consider is the printing.
What are the advantages of printing directly onto a CD/DVD instead of printing a label and attaching it to the disc?
1. Lower Cost
Purchase only inkjet printable discs, instead of both discs and adhesive labels, and you can save up to 50%.
2. Convenience
It's an easy, one-step process. You won't have to waste time dealing with label placement.
3. Reduce Potential Drive Damage
Avoid possible damage to your CD/DVD drive or player, which can sometimes occur with labels that peel off from heat, wear and time. Many manufacturers of CD and DVD drives warn customers against using adhesive labels on CDs or DVDs because the adhesive label could peel off and damage the drive.
Inkjet printing consists of spraying very small droplets of ink directly onto the disc. Ink-jet CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray Discs have an absorbant material on the top surface to absorb the ink. You can print anything from simple black text to full color images.
