Can labels be printed on DVD discs?
It depends on the type of disc. If it is single-sided, a label may be printed on the top side. But because DVDs are more susceptible to heat than CDs are, silk-screening which uses ultraviolet heat may not be the best choice. Ink also affects the flatness of DVDs more than CDs. Pit art was developed to avoid these problems. In it, the pits are recorded only in some parts of a disc side, in a graphic pattern that gives the appearance of a design or a label.If a DVD disc has data on both sides, neither silk-screening nor pit art may be used on the main surface. The center band of the disc may be printed on with simple identification.
