- Relevant artwork – An attractive artwork package is going to make a big difference in catching people’s attention. Make sure you understand how to design for offset printing and for silk-screening. Use the correct artwork templates and make sure you proofread everything. Always ask for a digital proof so you can double check everything before it goes for print.
- How many CD’s you need? – For small quantities in a short amount of time duplication is ideal because the process offers quick turnaround times. Discs can also be produced in much smaller quantities, generally speaking 500 and under. Duplication involves loading content onto a master CD-R. The CD-R master is then loaded into a duplication tower where a laser ‘burns’ the master discs directly onto blank discs. CD Replication is for more larger quantities with more flexible timelines.
