Thermal Printing
Inkjet Printing
EDGE-TO-EDGE PRINTING
Inkjet printer can not print to the edge of the disc. Due to
non-printable characteristic of the edges of an inkjet disc,
over-run ink never dries and smears when touched. Thermal
printing prints edge-to-edge.
COST/SAVINGS
It is difficult to forecast inkjet print-output since ribbon/ink output
could vary from job to job. You might save initially on the cost
of the printer, but incur more future costs with inefficient inkjet
cartidge replacement…and related job ‘re-runs”. With thermal
printing you can get 500 prints per ribbon, GUARANTEED.
COLOR SHIFT
Color shifting occurs when one of the three colors in a cartridge
runs out. This causes overall color accuracy to ‘shift’ in the middle
of a run. With thermal printing, there is absolutely no color shifting.

Printing Problems that occur...
BANDING
Inkjet Printing can create visible horizontal lines (‘bands’) across
the disc as ink runs out. Banding happens generally with larger
jobs that are set up to run unattended. What is your REAL cost-
per-print when you have to throw out 20 bad discs?....repeatedly?!
With thermal printing, 500 identical discs-per-ribbon is ASSURED,
so you can truly use the printer unattended.
