Thermal DVD Printers

Nowadays, there are specialized disc printing devices called thermal DVD printers that are used to label and personalize DVDs. There are different types of thermal DVD printers available in the market: those that are run manually and those that work automatically.

The manual thermal DVD printer is used for manual printing of a small number of DVDs. However, when there are many DVDs to be printed, it is better to use an automatic thermal DVD printer that prints on hundreds of DVDs at a time.

In a thermal DVD printer, unlike the inkjet printers, the printer conveys solid pigment from a coated ribbon onto the surface of the disc under the influence of a combination of heat and pressure. Thermal DVD printers, which do not require special coated discs to accept the ink in the printing process, do give durable results. However, there are some DVDs that come out better after thermal printing, as the surface here is optimized for thermal transfer printing.

Writable DVD discs tend to have a raised ring in their center hub that may hamper the thermal DVD printer?s head, so be aware of this. To overcome this obstruction, it is advised to print above and below this area. However, there are some discs specially manufactured without this ring for continuous thermal printing. Thermal printing is best for text and line art colors on silver or white thermal discs. As the resolution and color processing of thermal is not that long, it is considered a cheap printing method. Moreover, as thermal printing does not require any drying time, the image here has no possibility of smearing or peeling off.

A thermal DVD printer works with a Windows or Mac compatible computer. The thermal DVD printer is connected to the computer through a USB port, and then using the supplied software, you design the appropriate design to be printed on the DVD. Once the design has been decided upon, all that is left is the printing process.
