Stochastic printing vs. Conventional offset Printing

Computer-To-Plate technology utilizing a different technique for printing halftones known as Frequency Modulation (FM) screening, or stochastic printing. Conventional offset screening, or Amplitude Modulation is certainly better, especially when higher line screens of 175 to 200 are used in halftone and four color CMYK process printing.

The best way to define stochastic printing is to compare it to conventional offset printing.

In conventional offset printing, images are printed using grid-like screens that separate the image into evenly space dots that are larger in size in the darker areas and smaller in size in the light areas. In four color process printing, separate screens are used to reproduce each of the four colors, black, cyan, magenta and yellow.

In stochastic printing, images are printed by dots spread randomly throughout the image area. The dots are not equally spaced and aligned in a row or grid and they vary according to the tonal value to be reproduced. The lighter areas have few dots, the darker areas have more dots.

Printing with stochastic screening offers the advantages of less ink on the sheet, can reproduce too much detail; grain of image’s photographic film can become visible, imperfection in flesh tones are more visible, holding a small dot is a great challenge on press, very unforgiving on press, tighter controls have to be implemented, 20% more dot gain than conventional, proofing is difficult.

Conventional offset screens have the advantages of greater latitude of changing color density on press, more forgiving halftone reproduction, better printing of large amounts of ink on paper and better production of one and two color printing. Metallic or opaque ink halftones have larger impact and works better for skin tones.

Technology has been flourishing in recent years, perhaps due to the immense growth of the Internet. Many service providers such as DVD duplication services have emerged. To the consumer, this is great news, for these service providers offer excellent services at reasonable prices. 

The traditional way of sourcing for reliable DVD replicators is no longer practical. People used to source for quotations the slow way, using contacts from trade or industry directories. This process is slow and cumbersome. On the Internet, everything moves at unbelievable speed. You will be able to contact various vendors, and have your deal firmed up in a matter of hours. 

The primary reason why you should look into DVD duplication services is because it helps to save time and money. If you have ever tried duplicating CDs or DVDs at home, you know that the process can take a long time. Imagine having to copy the content from one disc to another. If you need anything more than 50 copies, you will surely need professional help. Besides, the professionals can do a much better job at making duplicates. The quality is so good that you may not even be able to tell the difference between copy and original!

Such services divide their offers into two broad categories – short run duplication, or large run replication. Short run means you need a smaller number of copies (usually below 500). The entire order can be filled much faster, and the price per copy is definitely cheaper than what you pay for if you attempt to do this by yourself. If you are a product publisher with a small customer base, this is the perfect package for you.

The other service, which is the large run replication service, is for larger orders (usually above 1000 pieces). The order may take a little longer to fill since it involves more copies. But the price per unit is lower because of the volume. This service is ideal for publishers with a larger customer base. With a lower cost per unit price, the margins are higher and publishers can enjoy more profits.

In addition, professional service providers also offer value added services such as design and printing, audio mastering, and DVD authoring. That means you don’t have to lift a finger to do the “grunt work”. Leave it to the professionals. They have the expertise and the experience to ensure that your project turns out to be a huge success.

Try to spend more time on the design and printing aspect. The packaging is important because it helps with your marketing. Your goal is to do such a good job that your customers remember the work that you have done. For sure, you don’t want them to remember you for shoddy work. So make sure that the design looks clean and professional. The marketing experts call this “branding”.

Finally, make sure that the vendor you choose don’t charge you extra for over-runs or full-color on-disc replication printing. There should also not be any hidden costs, and all costs must be made known to you up-front. Once you are sure of that, you may go ahead and place your order.

Do you remember walking down the aisles of your music store and just skimming over the thousands and thousands of CDs? What made you suddenly stop and spontaneously pick up a CD? What’s the first thing that sparks your curiosity? Is it the content or the appeal? While most would argue, it should be about the music. It was the artwork that captured your attention. As much as we would love to believe it’s the inside that matters; lets face it, image is important. This is not, by all means, to discredit the music. The content is relevant in that; the music keeps the fans loyal and coming back for more. But if the customer just walked by your CD and never picks it up, the potential fan is gone.

Don’t underestimate the power of CD cover art! The design of your CD cover is a crucial factor that can separate the amateur from the professional. It has the power to capture new fans. CD cover design can mean the difference between having your press kit CDs ending up in the trashcans or in a CD players of A&R representatives. A captivated design can attract new business and enhance your image. Even in vinyl days, cover art has always been a major attraction.

CD design is vital, it provide a glimpse into your personality. It can tease and titillate the imagination. If you like what’s on the outside; wait until you turn me on. From country to rock and everything in between, CD cover art speaks volume about who you are. Don’t make the mistake of outsourcing the design work to amateur. Although, it might be cost effective to even design it yourself, this could cost you dearly in the end; your potential new businesses.

Graphic designers have the artistic expertise to creative eye-catching designs. You’ve taken you time to perfect your music, and your cover art is the first thing people see. Don’t chance it with an amateurish design. A professional graphic designer can give your CD cover the wow factor it needs to grab hold of your audience. CD cover art should attract customers’ attention, capture their interest and finally, sell your CD.

Remember: You only have one chance to make a first impression.
