DVD Duplication
Professional DVD Duplication services can be used for a number of different purposes. In the corporate world, professional DVD Duplication is used to make multiple copies of various training videos, corporate data files, in-house software, audios, and for important data backup. The same services are also used by independent filmmakers and movie studios, as well as individual artists, who make hundreds of copies of their original video and audio work.
During the DVD Duplication process, the original master disc is copied multiple times onto blank DVD-R (DigitalVideo Disc — Recordable). These discs are in a “write-once’ format, which means that your recorded data cannot be changed, thus giving you an ultimate protection against anyone trying to tamper with your original work.
An important thing to note is that professionals at Abet Disc are always mindful of Copyright Laws. When we discuss your DVD Duplication order, we will be able to recommend a few ways in which you can protect your work once it is duplicated from the original.
There is certainly a lot of software available on the market that will enable you to duplicate your discs on your home computer — one copy at a time. Not only is this time consuming, but if you read software reviews, you will see that most programs come with their own quirks, to the point where you may not be able to duplicate certain DVD formats.
However, at Abet Disc, we are able to make copies of most disc formats, and customize your order to you specific needs and requirements. We also routinely conduct content and quality verification tests on all master-copy discs, to make sure that they are fully functional and up to industry standards, before we proceed with the duplication process.
If you were to attempt DVD Duplication on your own, you would first have to download the master copy onto your computer’s hard drive, from which it can then be burned onto a blank DVD-R. While it is necessary to take these extra steps every time you copy a DVD, if you are not using special equipment, you may loose a noticeable amount of video and data quality in the process.
All things considered, home-based DVD burning is very time consuming — not only in copying DVDs one by one, but also in the time it takes to figure out how to make the software work exactly as you want it to. A great alternative, of course, is to use a professional DVD Duplication service offered by Abet Disc.
DVD Duplication, unlike Replication, is used to make smaller quantities of DVD copies. For instance, if you needed to quickly make a 100 or more copies of your original DVD, it would take you a lot of time to do this on your own (and end up costing a lot of money). At Abet Disc, we are able to complete the entire duplication process on your short run order with an amazing turnaround time, and at a lower cost!
Unlike DVD Replication, the duplication technology does not require extra machinery set-up time, artwork film processing, or Glass Mastering cost and delays. This allows us to produce high-quality DVD copies at a very reasonable cost to our clients.
Abet Disc also offers full-color thermal on-disc printing at no extra charge! Unlike the competitors, who often use ink-jet printing to save cost, we firmly believe that your DVD’s artwork plays an important role in representing your product. Therefore, we print your graphics with the best quality full-color wax-based ink that retains all the details of your original design.
Don’t forget about duplicating your DVDs’ case inserts, as well as sleeves, jackets, paper sleeves, and DigiPaks. Abet Disc offers high quality “offset printing,’ which, unlike laser color copiers, produces the best quality imaging — you won’t even know it from the original!
All of our DVD Duplication orders come with a free barcode, which is something your won’t find with our competitors. Let us know when you want to mail in your master copy DVD for a duplication order, and Abet Disc will even pay for the mailing charges. Ready to get started? E-mail us today!
CD Duplication
CD Duplication services offered by Abet Disc are perfect for you if you already have a master disc with audio or data files on it, and you need them copied onto multiple blank CDs.
With songs and music, one of the most common master copy formats is CD-R (Compact Disc — Recordable), which is an optical medium that allows files to be written on a disc only once, but retains the capability to be read multiple times.
One important thing to remember is that when you send in your master disc, it will be copied exactly as-is, so be sure that no changes need to be made to your data. Place all your data and songs / music in the desired order, and we will make as many copies of it as you wish!
Whether you are looking for music, audio, or data CD Duplication, choosing a professional company to handle this process for you carries many advantages!
For example, professional equipment used for CD Duplication allows Abet Disc to quickly produce high-quality copies of your CDs at very competitive rates. This process would would take you weeks to do on your home computer, so there is a huge time advantage to having a professional company do it for you.
The great thing about CD Duplication is that it can be used to make a smaller quantity (hundreds) of copies of your original CD. This is a good alternative to CD Replication services, which are typically used to replicate much bigger quantities (thousands) of CDs.
When you use a professional company to take care of your CD Duplication needs, you get a much higher quality end-product, too!
This is because all of the blank CDs that Abet Disc uses in this process are better than the ones that you could normally get at the store. In addition, all the audio and data duplication equipment used to copy your files is designed specifically for the purpose of accurate, high-quality duplication.
This is especially important for musicians, who like their duplicated CDs to come out with a much better sound quality then if they were to manually undertake this process on a home computer. Abet Disc maintains the highest quality standards in the industry, therefore giving you assurance that your duplicated audio CDs will do a great job at representing your musical talents!
Another great feature offered by Abet Disc is the “thermal on-disc printing’ for your CD’s graphics.
Unlike other companies that use ink-jet printing to duplicate your artwork, we utilize a two-step process, which uses heat and pressure, to transfer wax-based ink onto a CD. This results in the highest-quality, deep color visual presentation of your graphics. In addition, thermal on-disc printing is permanent — unlike some labels that peel off over time.
Along with CD Duplication, we provide high quality “offset printing’ on your CD covers, inserts, booklets, sleeves, jackets, wallets, and DigiPaks.
This is different from laser-color copiers that are used by some competitors, because it produces much clearer, sharper-looking graphics that cannot be otherwise achieved with a regular laser copier.
This unique printing technique transfers your original image onto a flat rubber surface, which then uses ink from various-color rollers to print amazing quality graphics onto DigiPaks, CD sleeves, jackets, and more!
As a nice bonus, Abet Disc includes a free barcode on all CD Duplication orders, and a free master disc mailing service. This is a rare find in a company that offers CD Duplication!
Abet Disc has assisted clients throughout USA, Mexico, Canada and Europe with their CD Duplication needs by offering the highest-quality, 100% guaranteed fulfillment services at the best prices! We have worked with professional musicians, film makers, and various artists who have relied on our company to deliver the best end-product copies of their CDs.

“I just got my pack of 500. Once I saw the package I loved how real my DVD became. Such a professional look. I watched the dvd nervously but once I got through I saw no errors and I have a very nice product. Thank you so much. I will be coming back for more of the same product. –David Sorensen”

The Expansion Project EP
Jason Harris is the Director of Worship Ministries at Browncroft Community Church in Rochester, NY. This project, being his first official release, is a sample of his calling to Christian worship leaders to be prayer-driven and thematically intentional in their facilitation of congregational worship. The Expansion Project EP was birthed from a passion for the re-envisioning of both the musicality and themes of contemporary worship music.
In the cover, Jason worked with Sarah Knight Design to create a cover that reflected this project. The photograph of a waterfall, with its infinite movement and flow, seemed an accurate metaphor for the project and worship of an infinite Creator. Sarah Knight is a Rochester, NY based artist.

Replication Process
1: Pre-Mastering
In this stage Abet Disc inspects the format and structure of the media that is supplied by the customer.
Step 2: Mastering
A substrate treated with a photosensitive layer is prepared.
An LBR (Laser Beam Recorder) is used to transfer your data/music and forms the pits and tracks onto the substrate.
A developing solution enables the zones that were exposed by the laser to be removed.
The substrate is placed into a vacuum deposition chamber and covered with a layer of silver.
The end product is a metalized glass master. It is then inspected and analyzed for electrical signal properties.
Step 3: Electroplating
Glass master is mounted and immersed into a solution of nickel sulfamate.
A process of electrolysis takes place between two electrodes, the anode and the cathode. This creates a nickel layer which is separated from the glass master in order to obtain the stamper.
The stamper is rinsed, dried & covered with a protective film.
The back face is sanded and polished in order to prepare it for pressing.
The stamper is then punched in the center and the outside and checked for uniform thickness.
4: Molding
The stamper is placed in a special mold and clamped together under very high pressure. Molten polycarbonate is then injected into the mold and after a few seconds of cooling, a clear disc is ejected, now containing the information or pit track from the stamper.
A fine layer of aluminum is sputtered onto the surface of the transparent disc. This allows the disc to be read by the reflection of the laser on the layer of information.
A fine layer of clear lacquer is then deposited on the metallic surface of the disc, then dried under a UV lamp. This is done in order to protect the CD and
prepare it for screen or offset printing.
Each CD is then inspected for physical imperfections and common molding flaws using a high speed camera inspection system.
All orders are tested at the beginning and the end through the High Tech Optical Testing Equipment to Phillips and Sony specifications.
Step 5: Pre-Press
The film or file is initially reviewed by trained graphic staff and checked for conformity, colors, size, resolution, fonts etc…
Pre-stretched screens are coated with a light sensitive emulsion, dried and measured.
Once dried, a film positive is positioned upon the coated screen and exposed in a light unit for a set time.
After exposure, the developed emulsion protected by the film is washed away with water. This leaves a hardened stencil with print area free of exposed emulsion.
Step 6: Screen Printing
Press-ready screens are mounted on the printing press.
Ink is placed on the screen and a squeegee passes across the image area pressing ink through the screen and onto the CD surface. One screen is required for each color.
Once the ink is applied, it is instantly cured or dried under a UV light before the next color is printed.
Each CD is inspected through sophisticated optics for correct inner hub identification and print quality.
