What is the difference between Offset & Silkscreen printing?

Published June 17, 2011

Silkscreen Printing

Silkscreening is most appropriate for up to 3 color printing – especially if the colors are PMS colors, and for solid ink coverage. With silkscreening, 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 Silkscreening.

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 (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) on-disc. 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 chouse for photo quality printing.

Shrink-wrap

Shrink-warp is perfectly suitable for large quantity of CD/DVD replication packaging. Automated packaging equipment are used for heat applying to shrink the plastic film tightly over whatever it is covering. Heat is applied by passing the product through a heat tunnel/oven on a conveyor belt and a very small hole is punched through the film so the air can escape.

“I have been a performer since 1965–with records in the Top Ten and a Grammy award, too. I’ve also composed music for many movies as well as performing on national TV shows such as “Tonight”. Abet Disc has facilitated me in many ways: manufacturing 2 CDs of my music, as well as making excellent DVDs of my movie and TV work. I thoroughly recommend this company. I have had nothing but excellent quality work as well as extreme politeness and thoughtfulness.” Ian Whitcomb
