You might have been there before: you’re getting the DVD master today and you need to duplication a couple hundred of them in a day. How to duplicate them without paying a huge rush fee?
The short answer is: get the project started as soon as either the DVD master or artwork ready
There are 2 basic steps in dvd duplication - the actual duplication of DVDs and the printing of the disc face. There is no particular order which step that should happen first. That means we can be working on DVD duplication while waiting for the disc face artwork being created, or we can pre-print the disc face while waiting for the CD/DVD to be finalized. There is no need to wait till both components to start the job. This will save you significant time and you will be a happy camper.
For DVD replication - the steps are more complicated, but the principals are the same. There is no need to wait for both the artwork and content to ‘officially’ begin dvd replication. If the artwork is ready, submit it first and get the proofs underway; more importantly if the CD/DVD master is ready, the stamper can be made while the artwork is still being finalized. Approaching the project this way will save you valuable time and money.
