What's the difference between Replication and Duplication?
To the laymen, CD duplication and replication probably means the same. But to the people in the CD and DVD manufacturing industry, there is a subtile difference. When people say replication they usually mean the discs will be pressed rather than burning from recordable media.
Replication is the process of replicating a master disc using a glass stamper (or mold). Melted polycarbonate is injected under high pressure onto the stamper to form the bits of information on the disc. The disc is then layered with a reflective coat and a protective laquer layer.
Part of the replication process is the printing of artwork on the disc. Usually there are two ways to do it, i.e. offset and silkscreen. The choice between offset and silkscreen is a matter of preference. Offset is good for artwork with full-color photo. Silkscreen is good for artwork with more vector graphcs such as logos and texts.
You should always try to use replication service unless you don't have enough time or if your quantity is small. In such case you can use duplication. The artwork for duplication service is usually printed on a paper label and then the label is stuck onto the disc surface. This is labor intensive task and that's why duplication service, despite the lower quality, is more expensive then replication service in terms of unit prices. |
