The copies will be exact duplicates of your original disc. Our
state-of-the-art robotic system checks each copy against the
original and automatically rejects disc's with errors or flaws.
How many copies can you make from my original?
We can make an unlimited number of perfect copies from your
master disc without any loss of quality.
What formats of DVD's can you duplicate from/use as a
master?
We can make copies of ANY DVD (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM,
Mini DVD, Mini DVD-RW), as long as it does not have copy protection
enabled on your master. We can even duplicate from Mini DVD's
and copy them onto a full size DVD-R's.
I burn my masters on DVD+R. Can you make copies of that
also?
We can make copies from DVD+R, but the disks that you receive
back will be DVD-R, which is currently the most compatible
format for DVD players around the world.
Does the price include labels or printing on the Disc?
Custom printing is included on every disc. You can choose
from many Graphics, Company's Logo and/or Color background
(Custom Made Graphic design). You can also use your own artwork
and we'll custom print it directly onto the disc. Click Here

In most cases, colored graphics & text against a white
background looks the best and has the sharpest detail &
contrast.
What's the best way for me to show you how to print my
disc's?
Print out our Disc Template. Roughly draw your graphics and
text on it. Send it along with your order so we have an idea
how you want the disc's printed. (Note: You will need Acrobat
Reader to view and print the Template file).
How should I ship my master disc to you for duplication?
Disc's should be placed in a padded shipper or corrugated
box.

a transparent cello sleeve. Customers can order white sleeve

them as well?
Yes. All Chapter, Track and Menu information is transferred
to the copies along with any other data on the
original discs.
How long does it take to get my material back?
Orders are processed and shipped usually between 24-48 hours.

ordered)

against unauthorized copying, duplication or distribution?

to prove in court. We strongly advise that you copyright your

printing, Average Print Cost from $1.50/disc (Color), $1.00/disc

than Ink-jet
printers
