What is silkscreen printing?
Silkscreen printing applies waterproof ink, color by color, directly to the disc by running the CDs through multiple screens. This printing method allows for much faster production of printed discs, as well as being able to achieve a much wider range of colors that digital printers cannot achieve.
Is silkscreen disc printing better than digital printing?
In terms of quality and color vibrancy, absolutely. Silkscreen printing creates stencils using emulsion that hardens with UV, and then ink is pushed through. This allows for much finer than a digital printer can achieve. By using inks, instead of CYMK (layers of cyan, yellow, magenta, and black overlaid to create a range of colors) that digital printers use, the range of colors that can be used is only limited by the human eye. Any PMS spot color will work!
What is the minimum order for silkscreen discs?
Our minimum order is 200 discs. Because silkscreen process requires multiple screens for each color, its more setup than a digital print order. For smaller orders, we recommend our digital printing process, which has a minimum order of 25 discs.
Who do silkscreened discs work best for?
Silkscreened discs works best for hospitals, law firms, attorneys, and police. But they work for anyone who needs bulk amounts of high quality printed discs!
