CD Labeling Printer

CD labeling printers are used to print customized text, pictures, or designs on CD labels, which are made from high quality printable paper and permanent adhesive that is designed specifically to not ooze when applied. Most of these printers use inkjet or thermal technology that is intended for use in small firms and households where CD label printing is done only occasionally.

These printers are usually manually operated and print one CD label at a time. They use screen-printing technique, which is also used to print graphic images on textile-based products. In this technique, a thick layer of ink is poured onto a stencil and the excess ink scraped off, forcing the remaining ink through the holes in the stencil to create the image on the surface of the disc.

The standard line screen for images on the label is usually 85 lpi, which is the same as used in newspaper printing. It is designed for users who want superior thermal or inkjet printing on printable media such as CD labels. They are usually priced at affordable rates, have a sleek desktop footprint, and print at fast speeds. Consumables used in these printers are non-proprietary that allows users to use any available brand of office products. This utility allows users to purchase the cheapest available brand and save on the costs of printing CD labels.

Software included with the printer enables users to import and edit images from different sources to create a variety of text and graphics. Printed CD labels are kept in a dry place to avoid moisture contact that can damage the quality of images printed on the labels.

Easy availability of CD duplication devices at affordable rates has enabled users to create backup copies of their favorite movies, home videos, software, and games. CD label printers print different designs and text on CD labels, which helps with easy identification and storage.
