Artwork For CD Duplication
For CD duplication orders you will need to forward a CD master and artwork for the disc printing. We have several CD duplication printing methods so your artwork will need to be suitable for the particular type of printing used.
Our most basic form of CD/DVD duplication print is thermal black text print, for this print option we need artwork as black text in a photoshop file or a high resolution PDF. For best print results please do not flatten or rasterise your text in Photoshop, please leave text as editable layers and use bold type where possible. When saving your artwork please save as a photoshop PDF at high quality print setting. Saving artwork as a PDF should embed all fonts within the file therefore eliminating any possible font compatibility issues.
Our next print method is grayscale thermal which is capable of printing high resolution graphics in black and white or grayscale. This option is even capable of printing black and white photo images. Again preferred artwork formats are photoshop or high resolution PDF. All our grayscale print is onto a white Sony CD-R.
The premier option for CD duplication disc print is full colour thermal. This option can yield fantastic photograph quality full colour disc print with a gloss finish. For the best quality presentation of short runs of CD and DVD this print method is for sure the best available. We use a very high quality specialist disc manufactured by Sony DADC for this method of duplication and print.
