CD printing is when an image in printed onto a CD or DVD. All band CD’s and all DVD’s will have an image, design or colour printed onto them for two reasons. The first is so you can recognise what the CD is and who the artist is, the second reason is so that you know which way up the CD goes!
There are different methods of CD printing dependant on what you want to print onto the disc. Media Plant offer three different types of CD printing; Digital Print; Screen Printing: and Litho Printing.
Digital Print
Best used if you want a quick turnaround on a small scale. The CD is printed using a one pass full colour printer which seals your images with a UV cured ink. This provides the best possible quality and prevention from smudging.
Screen Print
This method is the original way of CD printing and is now used for large scale orders using a bold or solid colour print image. They can be printed in CMYK (where all colours are a mixture of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and black. It is used for full colour documents and is the standard colour model) or they can be printed in Pantone (making sure colours match without direct contact to one another). You can have all your products colour matched so that everything is the same for a particular brand and Media Plant has thousands of Pantone colours available including fluorescents and metallics.
Litho Print
This technique is best for reproducing photographs or artwork with gradients of colour. The bonus of Litho Printing is that it prints CMYK onto a white base and then having the option of adding a 6th colour in Pantone.
Having the three different methods of CD printing available to you allows your images to be transferred in the best quality possible. For more information about Media Plant and the services we offer, please get in touch.
Media Plant Ltd are proud to be an Associate Partner sponsors of the Wildcats for the 2011-2012 EPL Ice Hockey Season, we felt that helping a local sporting organisation would be helpful in raising our company profile in Wiltshire, the Wildcats play 30 home games every Saturday from the beginning of September until early April attracting approximately 1000 supporters to each game, we have placed adverts in the programme at ENL games before and this has actually proved fruitful with 2 local bands placing orders for CD-ROMs so with the highest profile sponsorship we feel that this may pay dividends for our business and also help the local community.
these photos stands in this prime position, along with this we will have a half page advert in the weekly programme along with match night announcements promoting Mediaplant throughout the game, we will also have a full game sponsorship package allowing Mediaplant 20 people in the VIP lounge and man of the match presentation, over and above these key things we will have our company logo on the Wildcats website with a hyper link to our website along with our business profile sent to 1700 people on the Wildcats e-zine, Mediaplant are looking forward to the season and are wishing the Wildcats all the very best for the coming season.
