Disc Artwork
Your CD label artwork should be in the following file formats: Illustrator,
Photoshop, PDF**or Quark-Xpress
** Please use a high resolution of at least 300dpi with all fonts
embedded.
All files should be at least 300 dpi. For downloadable artwork templates please
click <here>
·
Printable Areas The inner print limit is 20mm diameter. The outer
print limit is 116mm diameter. Please insert registration marks.
Each CD order includes up to five standard PMS (Pantone Matching System)
colors. Up to six can be printed on a disc. Colors may vary slightly due to the
nature of the inks used as well as if you print on the reflective face of the
disc. To get the most accurate colors
you should print over a white base coat.
·
Offset Process
Printing (cyan, magenta, yellow and
black) CMYK printing is done with a white base coat, and therefore is priced as
a five-color job. If your image
contains pictures it is recommended that you get the five-color offset
printing.
Trapping of at least .5 point is necessary anywhere two or more colors touch on
the artwork.
True black cannot be achieved with CMYK
offset printing on disc face.
·
Fonts/Type such as san serif should be no smaller than 6 points.
Serif fonts should not be smaller than 4 points. If printed smaller, the detail
of the characters may be lost. Type dropping out of a 4-color process image
should be no smaller than 6 points. Type created by several layers of colors
should be no smaller than 8 points. Avoid using Trademark and Registration
symbols smaller than 6 points in height as they may not print.
·
Lines used in logos, borders, or anywhere on the printed
surface should not be less than .4 points.
