AppleCore -> Offset printing on CD-R (11/28/2005 12:45:40 AM)

Hi,

I wonder anyone has experience with offset printing on CD-R.  I used a company in Redmond WA to do silkscreen on CD-R and the result was horrible. The picture was pixelated and the resolution sucks!  I was told offset printing will eliminate the problem and I contacted few companies but they all said offset printing will peel off the metallic layer.  Didn't they do offset printing on the retail CDs?

Thanks!

What sort of volume are we talking here?

Hi AppleCore,

We tried silkscreen on CD-R before and the result was ok.  But until we saw offset printing then we know there was a big difference. Silkscreen is ok for very solid artwork such as logo and text.  Offset is good for picture artwork. If you have a picture artwork and you used silkscreen then the printer should warn you.

Try this compay at http://www.newcyberian.com/regcdr.html .  It was suggested by Andy MaFadden's famous CDR Faq at http://cdrfaq.org/faq07.html#S7-29 .

Good luck!

Thanks RiverChicken,

FYI, I tried http://www.newcyberian.com/regcdr.html and just got my first batch of 1000 discs, $640 for offset printing including the 52x media.  I guess this is a pretty good deal.  But I found the data side of the discs is slightly yellow greenish.  Once I burn a disc I can see the burned area.  I was wondering if there a kind of CD-R that you can hide it's being a CD-R; i.e. not to reveal the burned area.  New Cyberian Systsems told me this is called silver diamond disc but bummer they don't carry those disc now.  Anyone know where I can find them?  Thanks!

New Cyberian has the silver diamond in stock now.  Thanks to this thread I put a rain check to them and they finally got me the silver diamond CD-R with offset printing.  It cost me a little bit more but it was worth it.  Once burned, it looks like a disc that is pressed from a glass master, namely cd replication.

Eventually I had the need to copy 1000 DVDs.  It only cost my $740 to do the DVD replication.  In the beginning I had my mind stuck in burning the CD-R or DVD-R but never realized sometimes replication is even cheaper.  You need to have volume to justify though.
