You might find very old CD and DVD players used to have difficulty playing CD-R and DVD-R discs. This was due to their lasers not being designed with these discs in mind. However this is an extremely rare problem as many older players become less common.

Duplication and Replication are two methods of copying your CD and DVDs Duplication is done using a duplication towers and the disc type is recordable discs. It is suitable for small jobs (up to approximately 1000 copies) due to a lower setting up cost. Replication is done using a Glass Master which is done by stamping the data onto the CD or DVD. It has higher setup costs and turnaround time is longer, however this method has cost benefits when many copies are required (we can do these from 500 discs on request). There is an area of overlap where both Duplication and Replication can be used, typically when copying between 500 and 1000 discs. The decision to use one or the other method at these quantities will be driven not by price, but by secondary advantages/disadvantages of each method, which is usually the turnaround time. 

 
 In summary, Duplication has fast turnaround time, and is suitable for for runs under 1000 disc copies. Replication has slower turnaround times, and can be started from as little as 500 copies.
 
  If you would like a replication quote you will need to contact with your request on this by e-mail at info@vponline.co.uk our instant quote page will only show prices for duplication jobs.
