DVD Silk Screening

If you’ve ever wondered how DVD artwork gets onto the DVD itself, the answer is silkscreening, a printing process that puts an image directly onto a DVD. DVD silkscreening can incorporate any graphic elements you can imagine, from drawings to text to photographs to solid colors. With DVD silkscreening, you can include copyright information, contact information or accompanying artwork that reveals something about the media on the disc.

What’s Involved with Silkscreening
Understanding a few basics about what’s involved should help you design your DVD artwork. The process itself involves pushing ink through a stencil master onto the disc itself. Because the space is limited, though, tiny details can get compromised, so especially intricate designs may not look exactly the same by the time they get printed onto the disc.

Also, the surface of the disc is metallic, so if you want a white background, it will need to be part of your design. There are also three different surfaces on a DVD: the clear inner hub, the mirror hub and the main silver surface. Colors will shift depending on which of the three they are printed on.

If all of this sounds a bit confusing, don’t worry. Our design team at MediaXpress will help you with any questions or confusion you may have. We offer templates, too, so designing can be easier than you think. Silkscreening is a great way to print lasting images on DVDs. Give us a call today and we’ll show you just how good it can look.
