Thanks to current technology and with a little help from professional world-class audio CD/DVD mastering and duplication experts, producing a professional CD or DVD, that can truly showcase your musical talent, is now easier than ever before.

While, of course, the musical component is crucial to any successful launch of any CD or DVD, it is only half the battle. As human beings, we naturally tend to gravitate to eye catching images and this is why, dedicating the right amount of time and energy towards choosing the perfect artwork, to showcase your soon to be released CD or DVD is so crucial. Regardless of just how talented and innovative you truly are, the reality is that if your CD or DVD and more specifically, the cover art does not stand out as being imaginative and original, the chances of successfully introducing your new CD or DVD, to the world, has significantly been reduced.

While you might feel as though you have put everything you could into the music you have so lovingly created, the challenge now, is to work on that cover art – to create a graphic design that will convey, through images, the essence of your music and www.abetdisc.com/welcome/pages/abet-design-contest.html sponsors a contest, each month, that can help you get there. There has never been a better time to try your hand at designing and submitting your own cover artwork and challenging yourself through images may just take you to a whole new level of artistry you never thought possible.

The professionals at www.abetdisc.com/welcome/pages/abet-design-contest.html are fellow musicians that share a unique understanding of just how important the “overall” finished product truly is, to any artist. They are keenly aware of their responsibility to support and encourage you throughout the entire CD/DVD creative process and, this contest is one of the ways they have chosen to do so.

To date, www.abetdisc.com/welcome/pages/abet-design-contest.html has successfully encouraged 7 artists, by sponsoring this monthly contest, offering you the opportunity of winning a $100 gift card that can be used to purchase more CD duplication designs of your winning cover. However, the lucky 8^th winner, for this month, will also be awarded an additional prize – free audio mastering, a $550.00 value. That is a total winning prize of $650.00! The greatest yet!

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.
