Be aware of sub standard CD and DVD Duplication

23rd June 2011

Dischromatics would like to warn customers who require CD and DVD Duplication of the possible problems with certain Duplicated CD and DVD discs.

When looking for CD and DVD Duplication it may be tempting to buy the cheapest Copied CD and DVD discs available but you could also be creating enormous problems in the future.

Dischromatics as an established supplier of CD and DVD Duplication with a reputation for quality, fairness and excellent customer service, can ill afford to supply sub standard Duplicated CD and DVD disc products and therefore only supply two well known brands. Unfortunately, this may not be the case with other CD and DVD Copying companies.
CD-R's which are Recordable Compact Discs and DVD-R's known as Digital Versatile Discs or Digital Video Discs, are made from polycarbonate. This has a spiral groove moulded into the top and is referred to as the pregroove. This pregroove side is coated with a dye then the top of the dye is coated with a reflective layer of silver, silver alloy or gold.
For more in-depth and technical information on CD-R and DVD-R discs, please go to the Wikepedia site. There are a number of problems that can occur, sometines the manufacture produces CD and DVD Recordable discs which are not to the Orange Book standard, They may use less material to save on costs or the dye used causes the Duplicated CD and DVD discs to lose data when left in direct sunlight.
Some of the CD and DVD Copying suppliers found on the front pages of the search engines are not always the size of company they claim. Some CD and DVD Duplication companies claim to be the biggest, some the best and  some the cheapest supplier of Duplicated CD and DVD in the UK. Credit checks will give you a better understanding of how well these enterprises are doing and their size and age.
Regarding Duplicated CD and DVD Recordables, samples should be available from any reputable company who values their customers business. If you receive a quote for CD and DVD Duplication which is much cheaper than others, there is usually a good reason for this and its not always good. The website is the front end of the CD and DVD Copying organistaion but what you need to know is, whats behind the facade?
In conclusion, customers should look to build a long term relationship with their CD and DVD Duplication suppliers in order to have confidence that the Copied discs are up to the standard required. Remember, Duplicated CD and DVD discs you receive and work today may not function tomorrow, but they will still have a use as coasters for your drinks.
