What To Look For In A CD Duplication Company

By Frank Hayes


CD duplication is the duplication of a master CD to produce a large amount of commercial CDs. The master CD is produced from an initial data recording provided by the client. Compact disk duplication companies will ensure that a client receives 100% error free compact disks of one million or more during a production run.

Each individual CD is created directly from the master copy, rather than sequentially as used in the burning process. The pits and lands of the master is directly moulded on the disk, rather than burnt into a layer of dye on a writable disk, This ensures that each disk is free from errors.

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.

Businesses, educational establishments and government agencies all use CD duplication services. A good company will be available 24 hours, seven days per week, public holidays included. This ensures that a job that needs to be done can be as quickly as possible.

There are many professional CD duplication companies to be found on the internet. They will be able to immediately commence an order and have the CDs delivered within 48 hours. These companies will be happy to give further information and provide a quote.
