| Duplication versus Replication |
|
CDs and DVDs can
be produced either by Replication (Manufactured) or Duplication
(Short Runs). There are advantages and disadvantages to each
method, and reasons to choose one over the other.
The primary consideration is usually quantity and how fast you need them. Smaller runs (less than 500) are usually duplicated, while larger runs are usually replicated. Secondary considerations include budget, print quality, durability, and compatibility. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE DATA OR MUSIC ON A DUPLICATED AND A REPLICATED DISC. Also, production methods are the same for music, data or video.
