Print CD Covers
A Printed Companion For Your Music
Services such as iTunes have decreased the number of manufactured CD’s. That being said, many music artists who play live benefit from a CD to sell at shows. Moreover, plenty of people still purchase CD’s at retail establishments. If you want to print CD covers, PrintFirm can meet your printing needs at a reduced cost. The following design tips should prepare you to print CD covers.
-
The front cover is the most important design element, and it should be as unique and creative as possible. Avoid combining different stock images with a graphic design program because your design will appear more like a digital jigsaw puzzle than an artistic creation. The goal of using a graphic design program is to make the result more professional, not less professional.
-
Use high resolution images to print CD covers. PrintFirm recommends a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch). Lower resolutions may look fine on your computer screen, but the printed result will be a fuzzy mess. Avoid using images found online because they are typically low resolution. To check the DPI of a graphics file, open it in a reputable graphic design program and check the file details.
-
It’s not a good idea to use black and white to print CD covers for any other reason other than an artistic one. A black and white cover may give the impression of an unprofessional design. One strategy is to color the music artist name text or other text on the CD cover and include a black and white photo. This will make it clear to viewers that you are using an artistic angle.
-
Bulk orders will save you money to print CD covers. PrintFirm requires initial resources to setup your print job, but once your design is loaded, the more copies you order, the larger your cost savings is per copy.
