How is printing of short-run CDs inserts done (quantities under 300 or 500)?
(back to top) Orders under 300/500 units (depending on the booklet/folder size & type) are printed using laser printers specifically calibrated for CD insert printing and specially designed paper which makes it easy to complete the finish work for the print job once the designs have been printed on the paper. When we print lower quantities using Laser printing, we do not create a “plate” or use films. Instead, we print directly from your art files, which saves some money in setup costs. Note that the resolution of inserts printed using laser printers (600 dpi continuous tone) is somewhat lower than that of our offset printing. This difference tends to create a somewhat different final look for the inserts, but still satisfactory for most of our customers needs.
