Screen Printing: Printing Process

CD-ROM 'on body' printing is  screen printed using a five station machine. This allows for the four process colours  plus one other spot colour. White is often printed first as a base colour with subsequent colours then being added.

U.V. curable inks are used which dry instantly when the CD-ROMS pass beneath  U.V. lamps positioned between each printing station.

This type of screen printing is an automated process with an operator periodically checking machine settings, the supply of CD-ROMS and adding ink when necessary.

The final stage is product packaging.
