How To Find Your Own Equipment for CD Duplication

Monday, March 3, 2008

It's time to get your CD produced, but you know that this time, you don't want to work with a company or manufacturer.  If you know what you need, you can easily find at home equipment that will allow you to get the most out of your CD duplication experience.  Knowing what the options are, what to look for and how to approach your search for the perfect machine will help you to put together your best look for a CD. 


There are a large variety of brands that are available with equipment for CD duplication, all which have specific features and builds.  The first part of the checklist that you want to look into is finding the brands that you know are durable, last for longer periods of time and work with your computer equipment.  Searching for reviews and comparing your individual needs is the best way to filter down what your best options are. 


After you have your brands narrowed down, you can look into some of the features that will fit you best.  This is going to be based around your goals with the equipment and what you need.  For instance, you want to check to make sure that the equipment is compatible with your computer and the software that you have installed.  If not, and if you like the other features, you can always see if there are adapters that will help you to get what you need. 


Beyond this, you will want to make sure that there are several options for features with the equipment.  Everything from the memory that it holds to how many CDs it burns at one time can help you to determine what the best options are for your CDs.  For instance, some equipment will only burn twenty CDs at one time, while others can burn up to 1,000 with replicating more than one CD at a time through towers.  Knowing the vocabulary and the abilities of individual duplication machines will help you with determining what fits you. 


Within these options are also the different types of printing capabilities.  Silk screening to digital burning of graphics are available on a CD with duplication.  Each of these options will look slightly different and will appeal to the eye in a different way.  There are also newer technologies that are allowing for more details within the pictures and ways to create the perfect coloring within images.  This is a large selling point for any piece of equipment and should be considered before buying. 


Past this point, the CD duplication equipment becomes choices that are technically based.  Things such as network compatibilities, types of CDs that can be burned, extra features and options and newer technology are all built into duplicators to create more appeal and to satisfy more needs of CD duplication owners.  Narrowing down the pros and cons of each of these and what you are printing is something that you should always consider before buying. 


With the popularity of CD duplication is also the need to narrow down the choices and find what best fits your needs.  Reviewing, comparing and looking into new technology will help you to find the perfect match and to take the CD duplication and publishing process into your own hands.
