It is from the Glass Master a set of "stampers" are made. The stampers or molds are the blueprint for CD replication process. After mounting stampers into a High Tech injection mold machine. During molding process, a replica of the mold is created in the form of a plastic disc. The disc is then coated with a micro-thin reflective layer of aluminium.
Finally CD replication process involves application of a protective lacquer that is spun onto the disc and then hardened by ultraviolet (UV) light. The replication process is now complete. CD Replication therefore is longer, more costly process but ensures quality, accuracy and speed from start to finish. |
