Techni-Print introduces DVD printing service

The service allows customers to send media artwork to the company via email and, within a few days, receive a roll of the printed heat-transfer labels.

The labels are indexed through the CD-12 and applied via a heated silicone roller.

Techni-Print managing director Martin Howells said: "Our system is simple to operate and requires minimal operator training."

The heat-transfer labels are pre-printed on to a polyester film using a digital toner and then a secondary adhesive coating is applied. This produces a CMYK+W multi-colour, 600dpi, photographic quality image.

Howells added: "As the label is supplied to the customer ready for application, there is no requirement for any additional consumable items, such as inks, screens, or printing plates.

"The cost per image is competitive against alternative processes and has no origination charges.

"As the number of colours has no bearing on the final label price, the customer knows the exact price per image and can therefore budget accordingly."
