| The
Replication Process |
CD
or DVD replication is the process of producing discs with
the content pressed into them, using a glass master.
From
the Glass Master a set of "stampers" are made.
The stampers or moulds are the blueprint for the CD / DVD
replication process. Stampers are mounted into a High Tech
injection mould machine. In the moulding process, a replica
of the mould is created in the form of a 4.75 (120 mm) plastic
disc. The formed disc is then coated with a micro-thin reflective
layer of aluminum.
The
final stage of the CD / DVD replication process involves
the application of a protective lacquer that is spun onto
the disc and then hardened by ultraviolet (UV) light. The
replication process is now complete. All processes are performed
in-line to ensure quality, accuracy and speed from start
to finish.
Minimum
quantity 500 discs
The
reason for this is that whilst the setup cost of producing
a glass master and formatting the machines for your job
is high, the cost of producing each unit is very low.
When
you are producing 500 DVDs or more, the costs of DVD Replication
are generally lower than the costs of DVD Duplication.
