</div>Here is a PNG of the graphic we print directly to a silver CD. The CD<br>
looks much better than this graphic, but at the moment Karlie has the<br>
camera and she's out looking for a birthday present for me so I'm not<br>
going to interrupt her ;)<br>

<br>
If you want to spiff it up in any way I'd say sure, have at it. We are<br>
able to print photo quality and many of the developers make their own<br>
graphics. The larger the graphic the better. 800x800 is about the<br>
minimum. 1024x1024 or larger will print up quite nicely.<br>
