I had a job which required a quick turn round which firstly I didn't think was going to be achievable and I would not meet my clients expectations. Working with CD team and Jan gave me the solution I needed and I was able to meet my clients demand. First class service all the way through! Many Thanks for all your help!

Inkjet Printers from CD Team
In inkjet printing, the ink solution is sprayed from cartridges directly onto a disc surface that is specially designed to receive, hold and absorb the ink droplets. The technology produces photo realistic high quality results for sophisticated, multi-color, high-resolution graphics and images on your DVDs and CDs.
Inkjet CD and DVD printers are generally lower in price than thermal printers.

Thermal Printers from CD Team
Thermal printing employs a heat transfer ribbon that
bonds the images to be printed directly onto the thermal printable DVD
or CD. Full colour thermal printers utilize a
retransfer printing process. The CMY panels are first printed to a clear
retransfer ribbon inside the printer. Then, using heat and pressure, the
printed image and a layer of the clear ribbon are applied to the disc.
The print surface of thermal printed discs is smooth and durable and the finished product emerges dry, durable, and ready to handle as soon
as the discs come out
of the printer.
