Replicate DVDs and CDs Professionally

CD replication becomes cost-effective when the minimum order is for 500 units and more. Naturally, as the order quantity increases the unit cost drops. Your CD replication order can be anything from 1000 to 1,000,000 CD ROMs. For CD replication the data is transferred to a glass master that is used for creating a metal stamp. This metal stamp is used to press the data into plastic injection moulds prior to coating the back surface with a reflective layer of aluminium. The laser of the CD player can now read it. The face of the disc can then be silk screen printed or litho printed directly using anything from one to six colours.

DVD replication is a more viable option in cases that need large storage capacities since DVD-ROMs can store 14 times more than the CD-ROMs. The DVD can contain data on one or both sides depending on whether it is DVD 5 or DVD 10. it can be dual-layer manufactured for increased storage space. DVD replication is useful since you can use the DVD format for inclusion of menus and chapter breaks as well as multiple audio tracks and sub-titles besides other technologies that are exclusive to the DVD format. Once the replication work is over the one-sided DVD can be silk screen printed choosing up to six colours.

CD replication is a good place to get started with. Though some may get confused with it CD duplication, the process is very different and requires several other steps. The CD duplication includes the process of lesser writing of data onto CD-R media in commercially available multiple CD burners (quite similar to the ones you happen to notice your PCs or laptops).

When it comes to CD replication, first of all the data is sent to a glass master, thereafter the same is utilized to bring about a metal stamp, which pressurizes the data into plastic injection moulds. At the end, they undergo the coating of a reflective layer of aluminum so that it could be read by the laser of CD player.
This technique helps in the creation of many copies. It is for this reason; it has extensive use in the music industry. For smaller quantities, the method of direct duplication is considered as the best option to go for. Do keep in mind that CD and DVD replication needs many steps as compared to the duplication process as it includes several steps and wide. However, this is the most cost-effective way of creating a large number of copies of an optical disc.
