Duplication Systems are now faster, more reliable and more affordable then ever before. The latest duplicators use the new 24X recorders. Each recorder can write a full 650 MB capacity CD in about 3 minutes. There is a wide choice of configurations so you can choose a system that's right for your application. You can even get a system that duplicates DVD-R discs.

You can choose a standalone duplication system or computer connected duplication system. A standalone system is very simple to use. You just insert the master and select the number of copies you want to make. The duplicator does the rest. Computer connected duplication systems are sometimes referred to as CD publication systems. They allow you to make multiple copies of CDs from the data on your hard drive. It also makes it easy to create many different sets of copies. For example, you can make 10 of one type of disc and 20 of another.


The new standalone Orbit Pro from Microboards is an example of a standalone duplication system. It contains two 24X recorders and holds up to 150 CDs. It contains a hard drive for storing multiple masters. It allows you to do audio track extraction, and provides disc to disc and HDD to disc copying. You can also copy and verify, or verify only. It provides batch mode for multiple-master duplication. This system costs $3,495. Take a look at http://www.kintronics.com/microboards/Orbitpro.htm for more details.
 

Standalone duplicators are also available with built-in printers. You can choose ink-jet printers or thermal transfer type printers. Ink-jet printers make high-quality images directly on the ink-jet printable CDs. The downside is that they can smear if they get wet. Thermal transfer printers make permanent images that won't smear, but they are not good at printing full color pictures. The new Everest thermal transfer printer from Rimage is an exception. It not only makes a permanent print; it also makes very nice continuous color pictures.

The Microboards SaturnIIP is a standalone 150-disc capacity system with a built-in ink-jet printer. It includes two 12X recorders, and features a rapid and precise gravity-fed media loading mechanism. An intuitive user interface allows easy access to multiple functions, including copy, verify, track extraction, and many more. The internal 13 GB hard drive permits the caching of print files, disc images, and extracted tracks. This system costs $7,465.
