Facts Regarding CD And DVD Replication

By Frank Hayes

Test pressings are then made for quality control, each of these are tested for consistency on an analyzing machine.

The data in the test pressing will then be analyzed by an experienced machine operator, who will be able to optimize the process of moulding the disks. CDs and DVDs will have any artwork printed on them in high quality during the replication process.
