How are CD labels printed?
Most CD labels are printed using PMS spot colors, though full color (CMYK) disc labels are becoming more common. Imprint now goes direct to plate on CD label artwork. Your submitted artwork is sent to a RIP (Raster Image Processor) and color separated before plates are output, and the disc is printed. Some notes regarding CD label printing: Art printed on a metal disc background will appear different than art printed on a white disc background. Please take this into considertaion when preparing your artwork for print. A white background is no additional charge if it’s one of the included three (3) disc face colors. If your artwork uses three (3) Pantone spot colors, and requires a white base, there will be an additional charge of 5 cents per disc.
