A Description of the Duplication Process


Supply Media Matters with your master CD, along with your disc and packaging artwork. We then check your artwork fits the correct template for that style of disc packaging and the printable area of the disc, then a final proof PDF is sent to you for approval, once this is signed off, we start printing your CD-R on our digital disc printers, this is can be done in advance,  allowing you more time to finalise the content on your disc.

Media Matters Technology only use JVC/Taiyo Yuden CD and DVD discs - with in the duplication industry, JVC/Taiyo Yuden are considered to have the hightest data integrity whilst the printable surface provides a superior print quality

Once you have sent us your master disc (please make a copy of your master before sending it to us), your discs are then duplicated on our automated R-Quest duplication systems. As with replication, we have a vast array of different packaging options avilable, and the final part of the process is for our packers to place your discs in your desired packaging.

The main difference between Duplication and Replication?


Duplication is an in house CD copy service, via our automated duplication equipment we transfer or copy bit for bit the exact data on your CD master to a pre manufactured recordable CD-R disc, your artwork is then printed directly to the disc surface on our digital disc printers.

Media Matters Technology can easily print up to around 2000 discs in house in a fairly short space of time, and 500 discs is easily acheiveable for overnight production. But with any CD or DVD production over a 1000 discs, replication is the more cost effective (but slower) option, with a production turnaround of typically 10 working days.
