If many copies of a CD are required bulk replication is going to be the preferable choice. This CD replication process is best suited for order of 300 and above discs. Due to the method of manufacture quantities of 300 and above can be replicated more cost effectively than using short run duplication.

The great thing about choosing bulk CD replication is that costs are kept to a minimum and the customer has their own flexibility over packaging options. If you are working to tight budgets then purchasing CD’s bulk on spindles and packing yourself can save valuable pounds. Our factory replicated discs are usually supplied shrink wrapped in spindles of 100 units.

Bulk replication of CD or DVD also reduces leadtimes as there is no print or packaging to consider. The discs can come straight off the production lines and be shipped same day. Bulk packed discs are usually turned around in 6-7 working days whereas full packaged products with print take at least 10 days.

There are many media companies on line who offer amazing deals on cheap disc packaging. The cheapest packaging is usually the plastic wallet with flap. Our bulk CDs can be easily hand packed into these plastic wallets. Another great solution is the clear clam shell which provides more rigid packaging and is often useful for mailouts. This self pack approach saves both time and money for the customer.

For speedy copying of discs our short run CD duplication services are the ideal solution. Short runs of 50 to 500 discs can be achieved in just 1 day. This service is available for both CD and DVD and is perfect when the fastest leadtimes are required. Achieving customers tight deadlines is our speciality and short run CD/DVD duplication certainly makes sure almost all these deadlines can usually be met.

Short runs of duplicated CD’s can be achieved quickly using our automated duplication machines with built in multiple CD burners. Digital information including audio, video or general data can be burnt to these multiple drives in a very similar way to how you burn a disc on your home PC or laptop. Due to the multiple writers and robotics of our duplication machinery high output of discs is possible in very little time.

There is virtually no set up time involved for these duplicated discs. As long as the customer supplies an error free CD or DVD master then that disc is fed into our machines, archived and then the required amount of copies are burnt. Very simple but very fast and efficient with a run of 50 discs being possible in just 1 hour.

Artwork set up is also very quick if customers supply the disc artwork to our required specifications. All artwork requirements can be found on the Testa-Rossa website. If we receive the CD/DVD artwork as a print ready PDF then again this file can be fed directly to our CD thermal printers and the discs printed very quickly. Our top of the range digital thermal printers are also automated with robotics and require very little human assistance in the print process.

So when looking for a professionally duplicated and printed disc the short run services Testa-Rossa offer are certainly the best available in the UK. As a bonus we also offer lowest prices and the fastest leadtimes possible for these required short runs.

Massive news for all Roses fans, the original line up are to re-form for a world tour and possible new CD Album. The band have already announced gigs at Heaton Park, Manchester on June 29th and June 30th.
When asked if a new album is possible frontman Ian Brown hinted “who knows?, we will write till the wheels fall off”….again.

Testa-Rossa Studios are very proud to see the Stone Roses reunite. As a Manchester based Recording Studio from the 90′s Testa-Rossa never experienced any direct bookings with the band but were involved in the official Stone Roses Remix CD album. The album featured the 808 State remix of “Made Of Stone” and studio owner Andy Drelincourt was credited as mix engineer.

Testa-Rossa would like to wish the Stone Roses every success with the new tour and any possible future album. Great to see the original line up of Brown, Squire, Mani and Reni. It has always been said that if the band were to re-form it was essential to re-kindle the Mani/Renni tight rhythm section of funky bass and drums.

The original self titled album “The Stone Roses” is iconically the best debut album of all time. The legendary production of the CD album by John Leckie saw the Roses break new ground in the world of indie and the Roses were considered pioneers of the Manchester music scene. Will Leckie return to produce a new album, I certainly hope so!

Companies looking for the most cost efficient disc pressing solutions would usually consider CD ROM replication. This manufacturing method for optical discs yields very high quality CD’s at very reasonable costs. Pressing of discs can take between 1 and 2 weeks, usually dependant on size of order and any special packaging requirements.

The CD replication solution is usually preferable over duplication when orders are quite large, greater than around 350 discs. The end product of replication pressing is a CD-ROM that contains the data or audio embedded or “pressed” into the polycarbonate. This pressing ensures the information is permanently contained within the disc, unlike duplication where the information can deteriorate over the years.

Many media and print companies look to these replication solutions for mass production and copying of digital information. Despite advances in internet transfer of large data files the CD and DVD is still a preferred delivery format. Although these physical discs need to be distributed by normal transport methods the advantage is that the disc will enable a physical archive of its information.

The replicated CD-ROM is still used by most software companies for the distribution and retail of their products. We all know that it only takes a computer virus to result in the loss of digitally downloaded software. With a physical disc it always make re-install of important valuable software a lot smoother.
