Reviewing the Process and Benefits of CD/DVD Replication

The process of CD/DVD replication is referred to the steps taken to a high run manufacturing. According to the experts, this happens to be a rather inexpensive process and a more effective one to create bulk discs. In some cases, it is also known by the name of CD/DVD pressing and is mostly employed when more than 500 copies of data are required. 

The process actually starts with making a glass master of the data stored in the original disc. This is actually the true master of the data or the disc and is basically made up glass. In the second step of the process, the experts from CD manufacture companies create a stomper plate and for this, they employ the nickel plating process. Once this stomper is made the process of CD/DVD replication is all set to begin. 

It starts with experts loading the stomper into the replication machinery. This machine is then; loaded with a plastic powder that is scientifically named ‘polycarbonate’. This plastic is heated to the temperature of 400 degrees as only after this, it can be considered prepared for injection molding to form discs.

After this, the data on the stomper is transferred into the injection molding process and if done successfully, the result is clear discs that are manufactured by the machinery in the duration of every 3-4 seconds. 

The following step includes metallization of the discs that is done by applying a thin layer of metal to the one side of the disc. This side is then sealed with the help of a firm adhesive, maybe lacquer. With this step, the process of DVD replication is over and the results can be played on the computer, CD players, or wherever possible. 

This actually happens to be the formal process that is often considered incomplete without the process printing.

This printing is basically conducted through litho offset printing, screen printing or any other kind, depending upon the requirement. This also depends upon the requirement or more precisely, on the style of the artwork and the finish specified by the client. Let us quickly go through the benefits.

• One of the top benefits of getting this service is that the data is replicated at a very low cost. This happens mostly in case, when the requirement of copies exceeds 500. In this case, replicated than duplicated is a cost-effective one. 

• Another very remarkable benefit that needs a mention here is related to the speed of the manufacturing. Some may argue that there is not much difference between the both, but the speed of replication is certainly better if the quality of the result is considered as the parameter. If the requirement is more than 25000, this process works amazingly faster than duplication.

• The next benefit is that the replicated version is compatible to all kinds of players, irrespective of how outdated or advanced they are. This is something that users don’t see very often the discs that have been duplicated.
