Why Choose CD Replication ?
Many people use the terms CD Duplication and CD Replication interchangeably. However, they are actually two different processes. Both are similar in that they are used to put data, video or audio onto a CD or DVD but that is where the silimarities end. CD Replication is used for runs of 500 and over.
With CD Replication we use the sub-master (cd-r or dvd-r) to create a glass master which in turn allows a set of stampers to be made. Injection-molding makes exact clones of the master, using the stampers. A coat of reflective aluminum is added then sealed with a protective coat of lacquer hardened by ultraviolet light. After this the discs we send the discs through another process for the disc label to be added.
A process called offset printing is used which produces the highest quality print for replicated discs.Offset printing is 175 lines per inch (vs. 85-135 lines per inch for silkscreen). The more lines per inch the better the quality.
Because offset printing uses plates and rollers to transfer the ink to the CD or DVD surface, the coverage is smooth and even (there are no "screen marks" on the CD surface)
Audio, data and video sub masters need to be written in DISK-AT-ONCE MODE (DAO). All sub masters must be checked for errors / glitches.
