PRINT GUIDELINES, CD or DVD BODY


rule


Our standard manufactured discs are screen printed, generally in two PMS colours, but CMYK litho print with a white background and even a gloss lacquer are also available. With screen printing the quality can never be as good as litho, so avoid fine detail and limit graphics depth to within 20-80% screen. Remember that different manufacturers have different print requirements, so please always use our specifications.

GENERAL

The 5" disc itself has a maximum diameter of 120mm, and a centre hole of 15mm; the outer diameter for printing is 118mm, and the usual inner diameter is 27mm. (Please note that the disc silvering is different inside 47mm diameter, so unless you use a solid background colour extending inside this diameter there will be a tonal discrepancy on your artwork.) It is actually possible to print right down to an inner diameter of 16mm if you request it. 

On-body printing is usually screen printed using two PMS colours (Pantone Coated, never Pantone Process), though four-colour litho printing is available for a small additional cost. If you wish to use the latter method please consider having a white background film as well to avoid having the silver disc surface showing through. Please supply a separate proof for the on-body printing and the paper parts, and bear in mind that the screen printing can never accurately match the litho printed paper parts.

Do remember that It is your responsibility to check the content and suitability of the artwork, films and proofs, including any corrections made by us. "Content" includes copy, catalogue numbers and titles, bleed, registration marks, colour, pagination etc. 

Remember we charge GBP55ph to correct out of spec artwork.
