We’ve completed several CD & DVD printing orders<\/strong> where the client has included a QR code on their disc artwork.<\/p>\n

\"QR<\/a>

Mediacopy.co.uk URL<\/p><\/div>\n

All our current CD and DVD printing processes will reproduce working QR codes. The inkjet printing process used on our Short run CD & DVD printing service<\/a> is high resolution and prints on to White media as a default.<\/p>\n

Screen printing<\/a> in spot colour and Litho Printing<\/a> your CDs and DVDs both give good results as in both cases artwork can be set up to print the ‘Black’ as a separate plate to give a sharp print.<\/p>\n

Ideally your artwork should be set up to print QR Codes Black on White for maximum contrast.<\/p>\n

Mediacopy full contact details. More information = More dots.<\/p><\/div>\n

Your other consideration will be the size of your QR Code.\u00a0 A physically smaller printed QR code will be harder to read and may mean some lower specification camera phones will not be able to decode it.<\/p>\n

The amount of information in the QR code also makes a difference. A QR Code containing a short URL is easier to read than one containing lots of characters, say full contact information in a V Card.\u00a0 The minimum printed size for your QR Code will depend on the amount of data it contains & the camera trying to read it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’d recommend\u00a0 testing your preferred size of QR Code with as many camera-phones as possible to ensure it works reliably.<\/p>\n
