CD Duplicators

The advent of CDs in the global market has brought about a complete revolution in the presentation of media. The music and movie industry received a worldwide boost with the introduction of these flat digital disks. And the rise of CD duplicators in the global market has broadened the horizons for these industries.

CD duplicators are essentially CD printers that produce a replica of the master CD at the push of a button. Most CD duplicators work on the same principle as a photocopier. The master CD is inserted into the duplicator, and with the push of a button, a copy of the CD is made.

There are mainly two types of CD duplicators: those connected and operated through a PC, and those that operate independent of a traditional computer. The duplicators connected to a PC enable the CDs to be copied from the PC host with an interactive interface. An autoloader system in some of these duplicators allows the system to run automatically, without any human intervention. These CD duplicators can be connected to the PC via USB or FireWire.

The standalone autoloader CD duplicator system offers more functionality and flexibility than the PC dependent one. These duplicators allow the user to duplicate CDs even at remote locations such as live events and outdoor parties.

The most popular CD duplicators nowadays are the ‘Tower Duplicators’. These devices stack multiple CDs and with speeds of 52x, they produce a new CD every 3 minutes. The automated versions need little human guidance and can be left running overnight or over the weekend. These duplicators are great cost and time saving devices.

The prices of CD duplicators start from $150 and can go up to over $1000. Some CD duplicators come with a printing device to print the cover, giving you a complete package. All in all, these devices make the process of CD duplication cost and time efficient.
