Once again we’ve got three… count ‘em… three… VIP Specials to offer this month, so without further ado here they are:

This month we resurrected an old favorite DVD CD Duplication package…

It’s versatile. It’s sleek. It’s practical. It’s eco-friendly. It’s the ever-popular CS100 Eco-Sleeve – and we’re offering 15% off our regular retail price this month!

Sign up to our VIP Member Program to take advantage of this offer – it’s completely free and it’s really simple to join up.

Simply get a CS100 DVD CD Duplication quote from our website quote system and then take 15% off the net price. The discount does not apply to applicable tax, shipping or any other items over-and-above the CS100 web-quote price. Also, no rush orders please.

As with all of our package prices, this special offer includes full colour disc print, disc content duplication or replication (depending on the quantity),  all set-ups, film, assembly and even barcode and wrap should you require them.

Questions? Comments? Don’t hesitate to give us a shout – we hope that we can be of service to you!

Celebrating our 10th year in business, Precision Disc Manufacturing Corp. is the sole DVD CD Replication plant in Western Canada. With offices and manufacturing facilities located in Surrey, BC (a suburb of Vancouver) in Canada, we ship to clients throughout North America each and every day.

These two printing processes are very different and have very different strengths and weaknesses. Due to this, as a designer it is always in your best interest to steer your design towards the strengths of the print method or printing equipment and away from the weaknesses. By doing this you will get the best printed result.

Designing for Offset Printing is more intuitive than designing for Silkscreen Printing – especially for inexperienced designers – so we see quite a few designs that are set-up for Offset Printing that would have been much better suited for Silkscreen. Before you begin designing your CD or DVD, review this list of strengths and weaknesses and decide which printing method would be best for the design you have in mind:

• Offset Printing:
  Strength: Photographic images
  Strength: Unlimited colours
  Strength: Higher resolution
  Weakness: Large areas of solid colour (other than the white flood)
  Weakness: Ink is not glossy.
• Silkscreen Printing
  Strength: Spot colour printing
  Strength: Large areas of solid colour
  Strength: Bold designs
  Strength: Gloss ink
  Weakness: CMYK printing
  Weakness: Rasterized text and images
  Weakness: Small/fine text and images
  Weakness: Subtle design elements
  Weakness: Maximim of six colours (including white flood)

Example 1 : This ‘Stevens Pass’ mini DVD is a good example of a design that is best suited for CMYK Offset Print: Photographic imagery, well balanced text and graphics, no large areas of solid colour.

Example 2 : This ‘Image Engine’ disc is a good example of a design that is best suited for Silkscreen Print: Three colour design (black, white and grey/blue), it’s a bold design that isn’t trying to be subtle, it uses large areas of solid colour, created completely in line-art (including the logo at the bottom).

Specifying Colours for Silkscreen Printing

When designing for Silkscreen Print the spot colour values must be specified using the Pantone Matching System (aka: PMS) Solid Coated colour palette. This particular colour palette is referenced by the letter “C”. For example: PMS 185 C

Place your order in June 2011 to take advantage of this month’s VIP Special offer from Precision Disc:

Get two FREE order add-ons instead of just one!

As a VIP Member you already get access to a choice of one free order add-ons and incentives, but this month you can choose two.

Choose two of the following free add-ons:

• (a) Up to *100 free posters
• (b) Up to *$100 shipping credit
• (c) Up to *100 extra packaged units

*The quantity or amount of your free add-ons (ie: number of posters, amount of shipping credit, or number of extra packaged units) is determined by the quantity of units you have ordered. The ratio is based on 10%, but is capped at the quantity of 100, or amount of $100, as noted above.

So, for example:

• If you ordered 300 units your FREE add-ons would equate to 30 units for the posters or extra packaged units, and $30 for the shipping credit amount.
• If you ordered 500 units your FREE add-ons would equate to 50 units for the posters or extra packaged units, and $50 for the shipping credit amount.

You must be a Precision Disc VIP Member in order to qualify for this offer, but becoming a VIP is free, very easy to do, and you can opt out at any time. Get more information and sign up now.
