Precision Disc Manufacturing Corp. is pleased to announce the launch of a new brand – Precision Printing.

With so much importance already being put on the environmentally-friendly aspects of our CD DVD packaging products, applying ourselves to the more traditional print market was an obvious choice, and so Precision Printing was born.

Precision Printing is providing a wide variety of popular promotional print products, and more are being added all the time:

• Greeting Cards
• Bookmarks
• Presentation Folders
• Rack Cards
• Postcards
• Posters
• Brochures
• Business Cards
• Envelopes
• Letterhead
• Flyers
• Sales Sheets
• Door Hangers

At the heart of our printing capabilities is our KBA 74 Karat 29” waterless digitally integrated offset press which is considered to be one of the ‘greenest’ on the planet while delivering very high quality print reproduction for our discerning clientele.

Our KBA 74 Karat does away with the paper waste, ink sludge, toxic cleaners and chemical developers that are typically associated with offset printing. Through the use of soy based inks, completely waterless printing technology, and inline aqueous coating, our 74 Karat provides the highest level of eco-friendly print without sacrificing the quality of the print one bit.

 There’s a lot more to Precision Disc than just discs – did you know we’re also a commercial print shop?

With so much importance being put on the packaging products that go along with our discs, applying ourselves to the more traditional print market was an obvious and natural progression for us! We print posters, stickers, flyers, postcards, brochures, business cards and much more!

We also provide variable print services, which is a form of on-demand printing where elements or information within the graphic design can actually change on each printed page without interrupting or slowing down the printing process. Variable printing is an extension of digital printing technology which integrates a computer database with the printer via specialized software.

At Precision Disc Manufacturing Corp. we produce variable print for clients on our state-of-the-art and eco-friendly HP Indigo digital printing presses. With print quality and colour reproduction that often rivals (if not exceeds) that of traditional offset print, your product will always look its best!

Precision Disc Manufacturing Corp. is pleased to announce the purchase of a KBA 74 Karat 29” waterless digitally integrated offset press.

The KBA 74 Karat is considered to be one of the ‘greenest’ print presses on the planet and, while we definitely require an environmentally-friendly printer for our product line of DVD and CD eco-packaging solutions, the KBA 74 Karat also delivers very high quality print reproduction for our discerning clientele.

“We’re delighted to have been able to purchase this particular press.” states company president
Paul Durnie, “It fits perfectly into our mandate for environmentally responsible technology and processes, and it’s the perfect fit for growing our print division and new ‘green’ product offerings. The press-sheet size, quick make-ready and printer speed made the 74 Karat a must-have for us.”

For a 29” printer of this calibre, the KBA 74 Karat has a very compact footprint (12’-9” long, 7’-3” wide and 7’-0” tall) and everything about this printer is designed for efficiency and user-friendliness. For example, the machine holds two cassettes of imaging plates (sufficient to print 10 jobs) which are imaged and changed automatically within the printer.

A complete job change with automated plate change, imaging and inking only takes about 15 minutes, with a maximum of just ten make-ready sheets. That’s quite amazing for an offset printer, when you think of the waste that is prevented by such efficient operation and technology.

And speaking of efficiency, the KBA 74 Karat has a maximum production speed of 10,000 sheets per hour, with waterless offset plates that can allow print-runs of up to 100,000 copies.

This press does away with paper waste, ink sludge, toxic cleaners and chemical developers that are typically associated with offset printing. Through its use of soy based inks, completely waterless printing technology, and inline aqueous coating, the KBA 74 Karat provides the highest quality eco-friendly print solutions you’ll find anywhere without sacrificing print quality one bit!

When combined with Precision Disc’s existing Indigo printers, not only does the KBA 74 Karat enhance our print production capacity and speed, the 29” press sheet also increases the number of products we can provide.

Printer features and highlights: 

• Waterless offset – brilliant colour, sharp dots
• Soft reproduction of the finest gradients
• No ghosting
• Superb solids
• In-line water based (aqueous) finishing.
• Solid densities and tone reproduction to ISO 12647-1/2/3
• Make-ready: 10 sheets
• Press dimensions (L x W x H):  12’-9” x 7’-3” x 7’-0”
• Weight:  26,500 pounds
• Power: 65kVA
• Max sheet size:  29.125” x 20.5”
• Max speed: 10,000 sph (job dependent)
• Resolution: 100 dots/mm = 2,540 dpi
• RIP: Creo Brisque

Precision Disc Manufacturing Corp. is happy to announce a new addition to our eco-friendly line of CD Digipak products – namely the “CS1026″.

The CS1026 CD Digipak features 6 panel construction with one ‘tube’ style pocket which is integral to the front cover panel of the Digipak. A tube pocket is open on both ends (like a tunnel) so the contents of the pocket can be accessed when the Digipak is open or closed.

Ideally, the tube pocket is used in conjunction with a printed paper insert, be that a folder or stapled booklet. The tube pocket is not recommended for use with a second disc.

As per the illustration shown above, the CS1026 has two variations:

• CS1026-c : Featuring a single disc tray (either clear or black coloured) in the middle panel.
• CS1026-r : Featuring a single disc tray (either clear or black coloured) in the right hand panel.

Regular pricing includes CMYK 4/0 print which, after die-cutting, folding and gluing, provides full colour print on all visible panels. The CS1026 CD Digipak is printed on our standard “tree hugger” white boardstock with semi-gloss finish:

• 100% recyclable
• 50% post-consumer waste
• Forest Stewardshp Council (FSC) certified
• Acid free
• Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF)

100% recycled content boardstock as well as kraft/brown ‘chipboard’ are also available – please contact us to confirm pricing.

We have invested in the right equipment, processes and materials to provide sustainable and environmentally-friendly printing solutions for our clientele. The CS1026 is yet another example of our dedication to providing low-plastic and no-plastic packaging alternatives.

Having in-house manufacturing and printing capabilities allows us to provide our clientele with a level of job control, quality and service that would not possible with an out-sourced product. With over 10,000 square feet of production facilities we have the ability to manufacture, print and package orders of virtually any size.
