Don’t be Short-Sighted when Buying an Inkjet Disc Publisher.
Today's DVD and CD disc publishers with inkjet printers have come a long way in terms of reliability and print quality, generations beyond the earliest systems, which were crudely modified desktop paper printers. Publishers from Primera, Microboards and Rimage are reliable machines with simple software interfaces and photo quality printing, engineered to work perfectly right out of the box. The Primera Bravo Pro has become one of our favorite publishers because of its combination of capacity, price and ease of use. Cost per print One overlooked aspect of inkjet disc printing is the cost per print. Very often the manufacturers offering the cheapest introductory purchase price on their system have the highest cost per print, based on the price of the replacement ink cartridges and the volume of ink inside. The price of full coverage inkjet printed discs can vary between $0.13 per disc up to $0.33 per disc, depending on disc publisher. If you factor a conservative savings of just $0.10 per disc over 1000 discs, you can make up for a price difference between a high cost per print and a low cost per print system. Once you get beyond those first 1000 discs you are now saving money on your print costs every time you print a disc.
Save by printing smart You can also save money on ink by printing smartly. Your inkjet disc printer may have a maximum setting of 4800dpi, but you may not need that high a level of ink coverage. You’ll find that most HP based print engines will output a perfect image at a 720dpi setting. Try printing your artwork on a disc at a 720dpi setting first, and then compare it to a disc printed at 1200dpi. Although you may be able to discern a difference in quality when examined side by side, it won’t be enough that a normal client will be able to tell the difference. In fact, if you chose to print at 4800dpi, you will find most inkjet printable discs can't absorb all that ink, and your discs will seem like they never dry for you. If printing at a lower resolution produces a printed disc that satisfies your users, you will save big on inkjet cost per print. Tips for you When you're ready to buy an inkjet disc publisher, make sure you ask what the cost per print is. Not just for a single line of black text, but for a full color disc. You should also be cautious of the print samples some companies can send out, as they are often printed using a print file optimized to show a system at its best. Before you buy, make it a point to ask to see your artwork printed on a disc. Nothing tells you if this printer will do the job for you better than seeing your own artwork printed with it. This will also tell you if the merchant actually has a printer in house, or if they are just moving the printers as a commodity item. Time to buy When it's time to spend an extra $150 per system for a lower cost per print down the road, it gets tricky as the less expensive unit will look more enticing. The very idea of spending just $1700 for an automated DVD publisher with inkjet printing brings many price-sensitive customers to our website. Discuss paying a few dollars more for a disc publisher with a lower cost per print with your sales representative. The price conscious customer can be a tough sell, but it’s a decision s/he’ll be glad about in the end, especially after printing the first 1000 discs.
