We can and do regularly print picture discs, but we do not recommend it. Photos need to be specially calibrated, and even then it is difficult to ensure pleasing results. It is also impossible to make an accurate proof of how the disc will look when it is printed. Here are two discs that came out very well. Both of them were manipulated in Photoshop to reduce the contrast.

Examples of 2 color picture discs, white background plus one Pantone color.

If you want to print a picture disc, consider doing a test run of 500 CDs. Here are some more considerations for printing halftones: densities paler than 15% may be lost densities greater than 85% may become solid the recommended line screen is 100 lines per inch, giving a coarse looking image the density zone between 65 and 75% are prone to a higher dot gain which leads to a clear demarcation in gradation there is a wide variation in the printing results depending on the many variables on the press and in screen preparation. Use the silkscreen compensation curve to prepare your images for film output. If you send us the image, please tell us if you have already used compensation, for example give it a filename like CDLABEL-withcompensation.tif
