There are several factors to consider when deciding on which printer to buy CDs for your business. This article will focus on some basic principles as the choice of the appropriate printer manufacturer, the cost of printers CD, inkjet or thermal, productivity, speed and durability. Part 2 of this Article dig on the basic criteria listed above, as well as more advanced issues, such as print quality, color matching, print on each single disc, the total cost of ownership, used Printers CD / DVD and the purchase of a reputable dealer.
For purposes of this article, I focus only on DVD Printer CD / no duplicators with printers that can print and / or copy CDs and DVDs at the same time. I'll save this topic for a future article.
The aim of this paper is to give a basis for making the best decision when buying a CD of the printer to do it right the first time. In this economy can not afford to make the mistake of buying the printer incorrect for your CDs and DVDs. Spending money on the wrong printer's CD / DVD for your needs and spend time to understand that is both frustrating and a diversion of resources company.
The research for this article was more than 13 years of sales, use, testing, support and repair CD and DVD printers. My experience level is medium and the disc high-end professional printers, so that advice may not be relevant for potential buyers to hand-feed printers Entry-on-disc sold for $ 300 or less. Less than $ 300 disc printers clearly a niche, but for professional CD printing needs tend to have high consumption costs, lack of technical support, slow printing speed and in many cases the print quality.
<strong> Council # 1 – Start with the major manufacturers 3 </ strong>
Rimage, Microboards and Primera have been in the printer and CD production duplicator since childhood. In my opinion, have more market share of 80 printers, CD / DVD sold% worldwide. The "Big 3" are leaders in their respective printing technologies and offer more stability in the market for printer disk. These three manufacturers are in a better position to be in the business and you claim that their competitors less stable in the months and years ahead. Has also been shown to provide technical support and after sales support, which is higher than other manufacturers on the CD / DVD and double-printing market.
<strong> Tip # 2 – Cost of the printer CD / DVD – inkjet or <thermique / Strong>
Costs vary considerably, but the main issues are defining the type of engine used printing technology in the printer – inkjet or thermal transfer, and if the CD printing system is manual or automated. CD base and inkjet printers are less expensive DVD that thermal transfer printers CD. An inkjet Printer Good automatic costs $ 2,500, while a CD of the thermal transfer Printer Great color costs $ 8,500 or more. disk capacity and software has also played an important role in the cost. Part 2 of this article will sink in deeper on the advantages and disadvantages of inkjet and thermal printers office.
<strong> Tip # 3 – Automatic or manual? </ Strong>
Choose a printer you cherish the hand of CD or DVD, or choose the automatic CD printer with a robotic arm or mechanism moving and prints for you is a difficult decision in relation to important start-up costs, labor and productivity. Good progress manual manual disc printers $ 699 Start, while series tickets printer with an automated CD drive capacity costs about $ 20, 999. Bigger and faster automated systems with the largest lot of 300 discs can cost up to $ 9,500. So how to decide what is best for you?
First, estimate the number of disks that need to print a week, month and year. Factor in all the growth in this quarter by quarter or more each year. I found that many organizations underestimate the projections of their use because they do not take into account the fact that other employees or departments that require the services of the printer and the new CD. Second, determine if you have intense peak production periods or CD DVD. Many organizations need to make disks once a week or a month, but you has 100 or 500 in a few hours or a day only. Third place to determine the value of your time. Do you have the time to put each disk in the printer by hand, or your time or employee making better something happened?
<strong> Tip # 4 – Speed </ strong>
A question I get again and again is the number of discs per hour or per day can make a CD of the printer print? The speed at which a CD or DVD is printed depends on several factors. (1) The press coverage, (2) of the resolution selected in the printer driver, and (3) of the printer itself. For example, an inkjet Printer Ink printing a label for a CD with a small color logo, a few lines of text, with the printer driver set to a lower resolution, can print 200 CDs per hour. The same printer can have a print speed of 50 CDs an hour with a colored border graphics card and the printer driver set out in resolution higher.
To a lesser extent the same applies for CD thermal printers. The Rimage Prism Thermal CD will have a greater flow coverage Print less, but not suffer very drastic decrease in flow during printing a picture with greater coverage than inkjet printing to injection. Interestingly, the Rimage Everest thermal printer has the same unit by the daily flow with a single line of text in the label and other graphic artwork with a 100% print coverage. The Rimage Everest 600 Everest III printers and printing each of about 65 discs per hour, regardless of print coverage.
<strong> Tip # 5 – Sustainability printer CD "/ strong>
Usually disc printers that are made Plastic is less durable than metal. Most inkjet printers I've used and tested in recent years are composed mainly components plastic, while the majority of thermal printers are manufactured with metal parts. That said, we had a good success and our clients have had success with Microboards inkjets First half-life and utility of 3-5 years, depending on how users of the process. We have some thermal printers Rimage Prism our CD / DVD production room that are in their tenth year of service. As a side note, these printers thermal inkjet CD and have planned for clean and spare parts in recent years.
<strong> Conclusion </ strong>
Start search CD DVD Printer with three large manufacturers – Rimage, Microboards and Primera. Forecast of daily, monthly and annual CD and DVD printing needs and determine If a printer manual or automatic is more logical. Search options inkjet and thermal, keeping in mind your budget and how long you want the CD the printer for the final. If you do not have the budget for the best CD printer needs, try to find a good use of the printer, or you may find that hiring external CD and DVD duplication and printing a professional services firm has more business sense.
