Printing Quality

---

Now it’s time for us to have a look onto the printing quality of the Disc Publisher unit. Of course, the printer is not the only factor for a good printing result but a poor printer also gives bad results on high quality media. Anyway, the Primera Disc Publisher SE Blu with an resolution of up to 4800dpi and 16.7 million colours lets us expect anything else than bad results.

For these tests we have used the Primera Disc Disc Publisher SE unit in combination with the following Media.

·         TDK BD-R Printable

·         Tayio Yuden Tuffcoat Watershield CD and DVD media

·         Verbatim 16x DVD+R Printable

·         Verbatim Glossy 16x DVD+R

Onto our first discs (TuffCoat Watershield DVD) we have printed a not very colourful image which has been created with the included SureThing CD Label software. There are not that much colours used so it was not that difficult to print the image in a good quality. If we look a bit closer onto the image, then we’ll find some shadows. This is because we have used some lower resolution images which required some stretching before printing.    

Another very good result for a picture, printed onto a TuffCoat Watershield DVD media. Here is nothing to complain about.

The same image as before but this time printed onto a Verbatim printable DVD+R media. The image looks a little bit brighter but it’s still ok and good quality.

Antoher excellent result when this image, which combines green and blue has been printed onto a Taiyo Yuden Watershield CD-R.

A yellow-orange-black combination printed onto a Verbatim Glossy printable DVD+R. It’s another nice looking result.

Above we now see a Label of a DVD Movie printed once more onto a Verbatim Glossy printable DVD+R media. The small text is good readable and the printing quality is again excellent.

Primera has provided us also a package with already printed sample media. One of these samples was the above shown Silver Surface TY CD-R media. Again we see an excellent looking result.

Overall we can say that the Primera Disc Publisher SE Blu performs excellent when it comes to printing quality.
