What is CD Replication

CD Replication is the process of pressing data onto a CD from a master disc. It is said to be the process of copying the original data from a master source to a disc generally by stamping or pressing the data into the raw polycarbonate disc material. The polycarbonate is metallized to make a CD-ROM where data remains in static information.

Being the most modern process, CD Replication is superior to the process of CD Duplication. The process involves the making of a glass master from an already pre mastered image. It also includes creation of stampers using the master image. Normally, CD Replication is misunderstood as CD Duplication. However, in reality both the processes are different from each other.
