CD printing for clients

[Peter Blake]

Mostly my English speaking customers get a private gallery and download options, however most of my Japanese customers seem happier with a CD.

I want to have a stock of CDs which are printed with my logo and maybe in a presentation wallet or case with some kind of sleeve or insert. It's troublesome to do this myself, so, where are you using and, any other options re presentation, that I should consider?

Would be nice to have one image from the shoot maybe printed on the insert card, so perhaps that is a part that I can do. Any recommendations for appropriate software, with templates etc?

NTI do a software for this but there are even templates available on (office) Publisher

printable cd's are fairly easy to get, I used to do them for my club... they look quite professional, though you do need a printer for it, though again they are cheap

one thing that has always bugged me

do I need a Cdr, or a CDrw?

I 'think' the Cdr is a one shot write which would be fine if it is for customers, CDrw are Re-Writable so the customer would be able to write over your work which you don't want

 

[David Mitchell]

CDRs are single write - you can add additional files onto the disk up until the limit but can't remove the files already on there, the CDRW is thicker and you can rewrite data to a certain limit. Its probably easier to just get CDRs as they are cheaper, I think you can also get printable sticker kits that you can stick over the CDs instead of printing directly on them.

On the subject of blank CD's, What's the difference between the CDR+ and the CDR- disks?
