6C Disc Printing can mean 5-color plus spot varnish on discs

You can add a 6th color or varnish very inexpensively to the standard 5c printing. Give us a call and we'll help you decide what you need to achieve the special look you're after.

Comparing White Flood 5C to no White Flood 4C

You can print either directly on the silver substrate or onto a white flood. Here are some test runs we did for a client with both versions. Both are pretty fun.
A Note About Disc Glossiness

The UV-curable inks used for disc printing have a naturally shiny appearance—especially when printed at 100% (solid color). Tints of an ink, in comparison look rather matte in comparison. You'll want to consider that when planning for spot gloss effects on your disc.
Special Effects Disc Printing - Coordinating Disc Art & Packaging Art

Here are some great examples of titles we made for clients with coordinated disc and packaging art:
Using the Metallic Substrate in your Disc Art

Don't forget that the disc substrate is naturally very shiny. You can have some fun with this. Check out what these clients did:
Clear Substrate CDs

We can make clear substrate cds! These are made using a mini cd mold with clear substrate poured out to the edges. You can do some really cool things with this.

There are a few limitations to this cool product:
-- The injection mold is a Mini CD (Pressed)
-- Not available in recordable format (pressed mini cd only)
-- Not available in DVD format
-- Mini CDs format is up to 191 MB of data, so it is not ideal for a full size album

BUT it is ultra cool, and because it is the full physical size, it won't get stuck in a slot drive.
