inkjet print is a great home solution for very short
runs of up to 50 units. Colour designs are printed
with CMYK inkjet print onto a disc with a special
inkjet surface. This method uses water based ink
and the printed disc will always be prone to smudging
and moisture damage. Testa-Rossa no longer offers
an Inkjet option due to poor print durability. |
