PRINTING METHOD FOR RECORDING MEDIUM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high productivity printing method for a recording medium by simplifying a printing process for printing an image of an analog record on a disk-like recording medium. SOLUTION: The disk-like recording medium A has a round opening part 3 at the center part and a digital information recording surface on the reverse side. The printing process for forming a grooved plane 2 simulating the needle grooves of the analog record concentrically spreading on the whole surface outside the label part 1 around the above opening part 3 of the front face of the above recording medium A, is constituted of: a 1st printing process for printing the label part 1 around the opening part 3 in a predetermined color and also printing the rising part 4 consisting of a large number of concentric circles from the outside of the label part 1 toward the edge part; and a 2nd printing process for covering the whole surface outside the above label part 1 by printing with black ink and also printing on the above label part 1 visual information (a) related to the data recorded in the recording medium A in the same color.
