Mirror Band:
The
main aluminum area of the disc is reflective but dull in
appearance and contains no dark colors. However, between
the clear plastic and the dull aluminum is a highly reflective
ring or a "mirror band" containing various codes and
markings (35mm to 46mm).
Because
the mirror band is so dark, it has a tendency to swallow
anything printed on top of it. There is a definite lack of
contrast between dark letters and the mirror band presenting a
challenge to the eyes to distinguish these elements when printed
on top of the mirror band.
For
this reason we recommend a white flood coat if your design
requires elements that sit on top of the mirror band (templates
B,C & D) ... or simply stay clear of this area
