6. What is the difference between Offset & Silkscreen printing on-disc?
Silkscreen printing:
Silkscreen is most appropriate for up to 3-color printing – especially if the colors are PMS colors, and for solid ink coverage. With silk-screening, ink is applied to a screen and forced through the holes in a stencil to create an image on the surface of the disc. Silkscreen printing can include up to 5 single colors, for 4-color process (CMYK) we recommend Offset printing over Silkscreen.
Offset Printing:
Offset printing provides higher quality image at175 lines per inch (vs. 85-135 lines per inch for silkscreen). Offset printing applies 4 layers of ink CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). The more lines per inch, the smoother and clearer the printing looks. Offset printing is ideal for intricate full-color designs, skin tones, and crisp text. It is the only choice for photo quality printing.
