What are the differences between screen, offset, pantone and thermal disc printing?
Screen Printing Produces: With screen printing, the image is stenciled onto the disc face by transferring ink through a fine mesh screen, using CMYK inks. (C=Cyan, M=Magenta, Y=Yellow, K=Black), or Pantone, Hexachrome (6 color), and other color-matching processes. Offset Printing Produces: The offset printing process uses an intermediate blanket cylinder to transfer an image from the image carrier to the disc face, also using CMYK inks, (C=Cyan, M=Magenta, Y=Yellow, K=Black), or Pantone, Hexachrome (6 color), and other color-matching processes. Pantone Procedures: Pantone color processing is a color matching system, used widely to identify an exact color. This process mixes several inks to provide the unique color chosen from a scale of options. Printing with Pantone will improve solid color range and accuracy over traditional CMYK printing. Pantone printing utilizes silkscreen printing. There are additional costs associated with Pantone printing. Thermal Printing Produces: With therma
