A Disc Duplicator is a system used to create multiple copies of optical media like a CD or DVD. Use of this device can save both time and effort. As a result, it is used by a number of organizations that require bulk duplication of information.

Most companies store their data or information in digital format. The CD or DVD is commonly used as a data storage medium for backing up files. But CDs and DVDs are also used for the circulation of information internally within an organization, as well as for external use. CD/DVD with promotional content is often used for marketing purposes.

In such cases, the required number of copies is usually quite large, and it can be a time-consuming job creating them. If you are in such a situation and are looking for a solution, you can find one in the form of a Disc Duplicator. This piece of equipment can transfer data from a master copy to one or more blank discs at a time. The specialty of such a device is that it allows you to make multiple, high quality copies relatively quickly. Let us take a look at the types of Disc Duplicators available and how they work.

Automated and Tower Disc Duplicators are the two types available on the market. The majority of these devices are easy to use, need no software installation of any kind or connection to a computer. All that is required is to connect the power, insert a master disk and then load blank CDs or DVDs in all the drives. The device will scan the original data from the master copy and then create the duplicate copies. In the case of Tower Disc Duplicators, you need to manually load in and unload the blank discs. With an Automated Disc Duplicator, the discs are loaded by a robotic arm from a bin with blank discs. The same arm also unloads the copied discs and places them in another bin. No manual intervention is required once the process begins. Some automated duplicators come with a printer, and are known as Disc Publishers. They can not only copy the discs, but print them as well.
