Density

To be able to process your label films optimally the minimum film density has to be 3.0 in full tone.

Duplex/triplex print (half-tone print) with Pantone colours

We will need smooth, full-page screen printing films (positive, right side reading, emulsion up) from you prepared as follows:

●Line width 34 l/cm

●Angle code 45˚

●Max. density 15 - 85 %

●Elliptic dot shape

For duplex and triplex prints please use the follow- ing angle codes: 0˚, 15˚, 45˚ or 75˚. With other angle codes a ‘moiré-free print’ is not provided.

Four-colour print - Picture Disc

We will need smooth, full-page screen printing films (positive, right side reading, emulsion up) from you prepared as follows:

●Line width 54 l/cm

●Angle codes:

cyan 75˚

magenta	45˚
yellow	0˚
black	15˚

or angle codes similar to the Hell and Crossfield system.

●Density 15 - 85 %

●Elliptic dot shape

To achieve favourable printing results we need a compulsory colour copy such as Cromalin, Matchprint, Pressmatch or test print.

Please take into account that there may be colour deviations from the original copies due to the different consistency of the base.

Four-colour print - High Definition Picture Disc

We will need smooth, full-page screen printing films (positive, right side reading, emulsion down) from you prepared as follows:

●Line width 80 l/cm

●Angle codes:

cyan 75˚ magenta 45˚

yellow 0˚

black 15˚

or angle codes similar to the Hell and Crossfield system.

●Registration marks to be centered only

as shown in diagram page 18/chapter 4.5.

To achieve favourable printing results we need a compulsory colour copy such as Cromalin, Matchprint, Pressmatch or test print.

Please bear in mind that the base of the DVD consists of polycarbonate with reflecting aluminium coating and therefore there may be colour differences compared to the printwork (paper/carton).

To provide (as much as possible) conformity of colours of printed matter (printwork) and the DVD label print, we advise to preprint a full white base on the DVD.

For Picture and/or High Definition Picture Disc print- ing Sony DADC can prepare four-colour separation/litho production of the label films for you. For materials required please refer to chapter 4.9. on page 19.
