Nowadays, there are specialized disc printing devices called thermal Dvd printers that are used to label and personalize Dvds. There are distinct types of thermal Dvd printers ready 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 good to use an automated thermal Dvd printer that prints on hundreds of Dvds at a time.

Printers

In a thermal Dvd printer, unlike the inkjet printers, the printer conveys solid pigment from a coated ribbon onto the covering of the disc under the influence of a aggregate of heat and pressure. Thermal Dvd printers, which do not want extra coated discs to accept the ink in the printing process, do give durable results. However, there are some Dvds that come out good after thermal printing, as the covering here is optimized for thermal exchange 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 want 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 associated to the computer straight through a Usb port, and then using the supplied software, you manufacture the proper manufacture to be printed on the Dvd. Once the manufacture has been decided upon, all that is left is the printing process.
