Thermal vs. Inkjet

Key Printing Obstacles That Occur...	Dye-Sublimation Thermal Printing	Inkjet Printing
IMAGE QUALITY Photo-realistic images are only achievable with thermal printing. They are even sharper than replicated prints.	Highest Print Quality in the Industry	Average Quality Depending on Media Quality
QUANTITY/QUALITY CONSISTENCY You have experienced inconsistent print-quality with inkjet printing. Print quality will look different based on how much ink remains in any of the cartridges. With thermal printing, each ribbon contains enough pigment to print 500 discs. Each print is identical.	Consistent	Inconsistent
DRY TIME Inkjet-printed media could take a few minutes to dry. But inks stay wet around the outside edge and on the inner hub due to surface finish characteristics of all discs. This leads to ink “smearing and smudging” caused by handling of un-dried discs. Thermal prints are never wet to have to dry! Thermal technology eliminates dry time.	Instantly with No Mess	Varies / can get very Messy
INDELIBILITY Inkjet prints will easily scratch, fade, run and smudge. This will never happen with thermal prints.	Won’t Scratch, Fade, Run or Smudge and is Water-proof	Will Scratch, Fade, Run or Smudge and is NOT water-proof
COST/SAVINGS It is difficult to forecast inkjet print-output since ribbon/ink output could vary from job to job. You might save initially on the cost of the printer, but incur more future costs with inefficient inkjet cartidge replacement…and related job ‘re-runs”. With thermal printing you can get 500 prints per ribbon, GUARANTEED.	Fixed Costs	Variable – Not so easy to Forecast
COLOR SHIFT Color shifting occurs when one of the three colors in a cartridge runs out. This causes overall color accuracy to ‘shift’ in the middle of a run. With thermal printing, there is absolutely no color shifting.	NO Color Shifts	Color Shifting will occure
BANDING Inkjet Printing can create visible horizontal lines (‘bands’) across the disc as ink runs out. Banding happens generally with larger jobs that are set up to run unattended. What is your REAL cost per print when you have to throw out 20 bad discs?....repeatedly?! With thermal printing, 500 identical discs-per-ribbon is ASSURED, so you can truly use the printer unattended.	NO Banding	Varies / can get very Messy
EDGE-TO-EDGE PRINTING Inkjet printer can not print to the edge of the disc. Due to non-printable characteristic of the edges of an inkjet disc, over-run ink never dries and smears when touched. Thermal printing prints edge-to-edge.	Will Print Edge-to-Edge	Cannot Print Edge-to-Edge
