UV Protected & Waterproof too!

Advantages to dye-sublimation printing are very clear...

...the fixed cost per disc, the prints are professional, consistent looking, and
permanent, plus, they are durable, scratch, waterproof and fade-proof with
UV protection. Dye-sublimation is clearly the winner.

Why Dye-Sublimation
Technology?

Image Quality

Photo realistic images are achievable
with Dye-sublimation technology.
TEAC P-55C is the only dye-sublimation
thermal printer available.

Print Consistency (Quality & Quantity)

Each ribbon can print 500 discs. Each print is
identical. All Teac ribbonshave fixed yields
which will result in predictable costper print
and predictable print outputs.

Indelibility

No scratching, fading,
running or smudging!

Color Shift

Withthermal printingthereis no color shifting. Color
shifting occurs in inkjet technology when one of the
colors in a cartridge runs out. This causes overall
color accuracy to shift in the middle of arun.

Banding

With thermal printing, there is no banding
problem. Inkjet printing can create visible
horizontal lines (‘bands’) across the discas
ink runs out. Banding happens generally
with larger jobs that are set up torun
unattended.

Edge-to-Edge Printing

TEAC P-55C is able to print from the outer edge to the

inner Hub, taking full advantage of the media surface.

With Inkjet printing edge-to-edge printing can not be

done.
