Replication

In addition to duplication, NGF Digital also offers replication as another method to produce large volumes of CDs and DVDs.  It is the most cost effective method of production though not the quickest.  If cost is your main concern you should choose replication.  If turnaround time is your main concern you should choose duplication in most cases.

Replicated discs are manufactured with the data embedded in the mold as the discs are pressed.  Duplication applies the data to the discs post-manufacturing by using a laser to etch the data in an organic dye layer on the bottom surface of the disc.  There is no difference between the two as far as playback quality is concerned.  There are some older players still in the market that were not designed to play a recorded disc.  But those are being phased out as time goes by and will be less and less of a concern going forward
