DUPLICATION – CDs & DVDs: We can give practical advice at every stage of the process. If it’s your first time, we’ll guide you through step by step. If you know what you want, you’ll find that we have some of the most competitive prices in Australia.
What is master Creation?
At implant we understand that it isn’t always possible to supply us with a final master for us to use to create the copies that you require. Therefore we offer a service were we will create a physical master of your Audio or Data content for CDs that we can use for either duplication runs or convert to a DDP for replication runs.
Why duplication?
Duplicated CDs or DVDs are perfect for low quantity, fast turnaround orders. Coupled with our un-beatable short run cardboard printing options, you can get great looking product on time, no sweat!
The burning process
We use A-grade, high quality blank media for all of our duplication runs.
All CD duplication runs are burned at x16 speed. Our CDs can fit 700mb or 80 minutes of CD audio. To ensure the integrity of your content every disc we burn is verified. Our disc burners produce audio discs that are compliant with the Red Book standard and data discs that are compliant with the Yellow Book standard.
All DVD duplication runs are burned at x8 speed. We can produce DVD-R single layer (DVD-5) or DVD+R dual layer (DVD-9) DVDs. DVD-5 discs can fit up to 4.7GB of data. DVD-9 discs can fit up to 8.5GB of data. To ensure the integrity of your content every disc we burn is verified.
How long does it take?
Duplicated CD orders take 1-3 working days to complete. Delivery to most major metro cities in Australia is 1-3 working days.

Printing
Our CD and DVDs have a white printable coating (no stickers!) that can be inkjet printed with your artwork. Our high resolution inkjet printers produce clear, bright, vibrant colours. We can also print shiny silver discs with black text. In this case we use a thermal printing process to bond the print to the disc surface. This is a cost effective cd printing option and is popular for simple and effective promo CDs.
We offer 3 price levels of printing: black text print, basic print and full print.
- Black text: black text or basic black logo on a silver or white disc.
- Basic print: up to 1/3 of the disc surface printed black or full colour
- Full print: more than 1/3 of the disc surface printed black or full colour
For an added layer of protection the printed disc can be coated with a protective, UV cured lacquer. This UV coating also gives the disc an eye popping glossy finish. We recommend it for dark coloured or bright, vibrant artwork.
