NOTICE FOR INKJET PRINT JOBS ONLY:
When sending us your artwork to us for INKJET
printable jobs, the art can be created in any program
you wish, but the final file
transferred to us MUST BE a 600 dpi TIF file.
When creating the artwork for Inkjet jobs please
allow about 1/8th inch of bleed on the outer edge of the
disc, and leave the center hole filed. The software we use to print your art will
crop the image to the correct size. This will
ensure the best possible coverage of the disc
face. You can use the following templates to
create your art, but remember to save the art as a TIF
file. |
Inkjet Printing
Inkjet printing is done on small to moderate
quantities of duplicated discs. It's for use on
CD-R and DVD-R media. There are no films output,
but the art must be saved as a 600dpi TIF file.
These TIF files are used to print directly to the discs
with an inkjet printer. Inkjet printable discs are
used in this process.
