No matter which CD or service providing company you want to deal with, you must ensure that the digital artwork printed in the CD or DVD duplication process is of good quality. It is a well known fact that good packaging makes the first impression. If you can produce attractive artwork for your CD or DVD, and the duplication process can print it without glitches on the face of the discs, your product would look much more appealing. Fancy graphics and text that are used in the artwork of the disc gives a unique identity to the CDs and DVDs.
To help you get the best quality artwork on your printed CDs and DVDs here are some easy tips.
1. High resolution file
You can create your artwork in various graphic tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign or Quark Express. But remember to have the resolution of the final files at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) or higher. By maintaining this minimum resolution you can get better printing quality on CD and DVD surfaces. Also make sure that the images are not downloaded from the web or other low-resolution sources.
2. Specialized fonts
Special fonts lend a unique touch to the artwork. And in case you are planning to use some special fonts in your artwork, you must send the specialized fonts to the service provider along with the artwork files. This is important as the CD and DVD duplication service providing company might not necessarily have that font. Searching the net to download the exact font is not worth the effort as it may lead to unnecessary delays. If you don't know the process of sending the fonts then you can convert the text to outlines with the help of Photoshop and Illustrator.
3. Send the source images
The source link of the images used in the artwork must be send to the CD and DVD duplication service provider so that they can verify the quality of the images used in the artwork before printing. This helps the service provider to deliver a better print quality.
4. Create the right bleed
Adding a 1/8″ bleed all the way around must be maintained so that the CD and DVD duplication service provider have an idea about the text or images that are not meant to be trimmed off the edge during the final printing process.
5. Use layered art files
Instead of sending flattened artwork, try to send the artwork to the CD and DVD duplication service provider in layered art file format. This way the service providers can make the minor changes if required to give the artwork a professional touch.
6. Test the master disc
To be on the safer side test your master disc before sending it to the CD and DVD duplication service provider. Check the image quality, the spelling of the text used and the color scheme. With proper testing, you would be able to spot the errors and remove them in time.
Remember these above mentioned simple tips and your CD duplication or DVD duplication job will run smoothly with no need for hurried last minute changes.
