What To Look For In A CD Duplication Company

By Frank Hayes


CD duplication is the production of a high number of commercial Compact Disks from a master, which has been produced from a data source. Compact disk duplication services can guarantee error free disks of over one million in one production run. They also should guarantee the use of the highest quality CDs for every production.

The process of duplicating CDs is different from the usual burning process carried out by disk burners on a home computer. In this process a master is made of the data recording, and each individual disk is moulded directly from the master. This ensures that all disks are error free.

A mastering machine operator immediately checks the data recording whenever they receive a new job. Any problems with the data is discussed with the client right away. When verified it is stored on the mastering machines internal hard drive and a master disk is made. This is then compared to the data recording to make sure they are both identical.

If dust, hair or other small objects contaminate the master they can seriously compromise its quality, so it is checked thoroughly. If it its clean, then test pressings are made. The data on the tests are then checked with a data analyzer by a machine operator. The machine operator will then check the data and optimize the moulding process. Once they are satisfied that the test pressings are perfect, the entire production will go ahead.

The process of printing artwork onto the disk will happen shortly after each disk is produced using high quality xerox printers. Disks are then lacquered and any booklets and inlays are printed with xerox machines. They are then packed and dispatched to the client for guaranteed delivery the next day. Good companies offer a turnaround period of up to 48 hours from the initial order being made. A courier service will be used to dispatch the disks.

Many organizations use CD duplication, these include business, music and film studios, educational establishments and government agencies. The better companies will be available to take orders and answer queries 24 hours a day, seven days a week and include public holidays.

There are plenty of professional companies online that offer CD production. They can commence an order immediately and get the finished CDs delivered with 48 hours. CD duplication services will be more than happy to provide a quote and further information.
