10th Planet Digital Media (10DPM) Launches Digital Disc Print Service

10th Planet, a leading digital media facility in the UK, has launched a state-of-the-art DVD and CD digital printing service.
The digital print system, developed in conjunction with ink manufacturers, Sun Chemical, offers a unique high gloss full colour print for both CD and DVD.
Heralded as the fastest digital print system on the market, it will allow the Central London duplication facility to turn around high volume duplication runs in 24 hours or less.
In addition, the film and plate-free process is significantly more environmentally friendly than litho (offset) or screen print processes.
MD Jonathan Moore said: "It was a natural progression for us, with digital print we can offers our clients the highest quality 4 colour disc print available and in the shortest lead time possible for any print system.
"The lower setup costs and file-to-disc process mean that we can offer short run discs at replication prices.
"This will help lift us further above the competition still using inferior consumer inkjet technology, and will re-enforce our position as pioneers in the disc duplication industry."
As the optical disc industry moves away from a business model dominated by large multinational replication facilities in favour of boutique operations like 10th Planet, the advantages of digital disc printing are substantial and numerous.
Against a backdrop of ever decreasing lead times coupled with shrinking budgets for optical disc content, 10PDM's London facility will be ideally placed to provide its wide client base with the market's most comprehensive and cost-effective DVD and CD service.
