CD Replication is the manufacturing process that clones the original master. A glass master is made from a premastered image. Stampers are made from the master, then discs are pressed with the stamper using injection molding. In a matter of seconds, a plastic disc is made. A thin layer of aluminum is applied over the disc and then a protective layer of laquer which is hardened by ultraviolet light. The disc is then ready for the silkscreen printing presses that are accurate and fast. Every CD will be an exact copy of the original.

CD Duplication uses a CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable). This method of producing CDs has a premastered image on a disc that has a dye layer, a laser burns data into the dye. Duplication makes several copies of the disc at one time.

CD-R is ideal for small projects that need fast turnaround. There are no time delays waiting for the glass master or machine set up time.
