The end result is stunning vivid colors printed on to your CDs or DVDs. Silkscreen printing is ideal for graphics that consists of solid colors and is based on the original pantone color structure.
Silkscreen printing is your go to choice when you need consistent high quality results and a rapid turnaround.

Offset Printing:

Offset printing is part of CODA's "direct-to-disc" print solutions offered and continues to be the best choice when large volume print runs are required.
Offset printing technology uses a 4-color process that utilizes standard inks often referred to as CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) for printing directly onto CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs. The ink based images are transferred to the print surface via rubber rollers to create a dynamic high-resolution output!

So which print solution is right for you?
