CD / DVD Duplication Services

One-off CD writers and DVD writers are fairly cheap these days, but what isn't cheap is your time to use them, or the high cost of bulk duplication systems.  That's why we offer mid-volume duplication services.  Mid-volume duplication involves taking your media master (or a set of files that you provide to us in some other medium, such as Zip disk), and replicating as many copies as you need, with or without color printing.
This could be as few as one or as many as fifty or more, complete with plastic cases and printed labels if you need them.  Same-day turnaround is available for small jobs on a time-available basis.  

We offer direct-to-disk color printing for a professional look. Our printers produce vivid color photo-quality graphic output at up to 4800 DPI so there is no need to resort to the expense of poor-looking stick-on labels.

Some of the uses of this service include:

  • "Demo" CDs for musicians.  These are much more effective than tapes for selling your talents to A&R reps or for gigs, and our services are less costly and provide quicker turnaround than using high-volume services (plus, you aren't left with hundreds of extra CDs you don't need.)  Bring in your recorded sessions on CD, cassette, or MIDI files, and we'll burn them onto as many CDs as you need.
  • Beta software distribution.  If you're in the software business, when it comes time for a new release often you have many customers chomping at the bit to get a "preview".  Making CD-Rs on a "one-off" basis is really a waste of precious engineering time.  Instead, make just one copy and we'll provide the duplicates, and you won't have to wait a week to get them.
  • Send digital photos and slide shows to friends and family.  What good are all those digital or film photos that you take if nobody ever gets to seem them?  Send us your photos on-line, or bring in your photos on Zip disk, on compact flash or other digital media, or in print form, and we can immortalize them onto  CD-Rs for lifetime enjoyment of everyone you know.  If you don't have a digital camera, bring in your prints, negatives, or slides and we can scan them for you.
  • Archive your home movies and photos!  What could be worse than a natural disaster such as a house fire that destroys all of your precious photos and negatives!  No amount of insurance money can replace them.  
  • Share graphic and multimedia arts portfolios and files with your clients and potential customers.  Graphic artists know that the computer files that represent your hard work are huge and difficult to transport.  People in the business usually use Zip disks, but a lot of potential clients don't have Zip drives, and anyway those disks are way too expensive and a little too brittle to distribute arbitrarily.  Bring your files to us and we'll make you a batch of reliable discs, comparatively inexpensive, and uniformly acceptable to your clients.

How to order:  You can send your files to us for burning onto disk on-line at the same time.  If you want custom-printed labels (which you can design on our workstations), or your files are too large to upload, or you need to scan photographs or digitize your musical files, bring your materials directly into the store (click here for directions) or email us for further options.
