So I bought a new Stone Temple Pilots cd at the music store in the mall the other day, and when I got it out of the case the weirdest question popped into my mind. How in the heck do they print on these things? I mean, it’s not like it is a sticker on this thing, so they don’t just run it through some kind of CD labeler. So I start thinking that maybe they have some kind of special CD printer that they must use to do jobs like this.

Then I really get to thinking about it and I realize that this isn’t going to be some little household type of printer either! Really, if an artist sells a million copies of a CD, they are not just putting these through a little ink jet printer like the one I have at home. It would be kind of funny to see some kind of sweat shop over in China where they are loading cds individually into little printers and all, but I’m sure that’s not how it works. They must have giant specialized CD printers that can pump these things out so fast that it would make your head spin. It would probably be a cool thing to see.
