Disc Duplication And Disc Printing- The Perfect Mix For Marketing Your Dvds And Cds

Movies, music and software are distributed via CDs and DVDs

. For promotional purposes potential clients are given copies of these discs which contain information about the company concerned. After the original disc is produced one may opt to generate copies for distribution to the public via disc duplication or replication. In this competitive world one cannot just distribute plain looking discs despite the quality of information or data therein. As such, disc printing is done to make the discs look more attractive to the eye thus increasing the chances of customers buying the CDs or DVDs. For promotional purposes therefore, printing the discs surface definitely makes for a good company outlook.

CD/DVD duplication is done via a disc burner whereby the content is extracted from the master copy and burned onto a blank CD or DVD. Disc duplicators look more like the CPU of a desktop PC that has several burner drives. One opts for disc duplication rather than replication when the number of the targeted discs is up to 500. This is because duplication takes a long time and the process can hardly be automated hence it is quite tiring. There is no difference in the quality of duplicated or replicated data - it is just the process that differs. Either of these processes is normally followed by disc printing.

Printing discs involves coming up with suitable graphics that represent the themes purported to be the contents of the disc. Other than graphics, a short and straight to the point message may be added to the disc. The conventional methods used in disc printing included the affixing of printed labels onto the discs top surface, silk screen printing (much like that used in printing t-shirts), and offset printing. Currently, digital printing is most favoured as it is fast and comparatively less toxic inks and binders are used. Contrary to what people may believe, printing discs does not affect the quality of disc duplication work.

Most companies that currently offer disc duplication services also do disc printing. Whats more is that these services can be accessed online so you wont have to run around looking for such firms physically and in essence this will save you some money, time and energy. Though there are many con artists online you can still manage to access honest and reputable firms online courtesy of customer reviews and press releases. It is also wise to ask for any previously done jobs for you to personally assess the quality of work the company claims to do. Also be sure to ask that firm for referrals from their clients.
