Learn the differences between automated and manual CD and DVD duplicators and replicators
There is a big difference between the output of an automated CD and DVD duplicator/replicator and a manual CD and DVD duplicator/replicator. Where this difference lies is in the amount of time it takes to create the end product and how many of the end product you can produce in a certain block of time.
I recommend: Getting a solid overview on the differences between CD and DVD replication systems and CD and DVD duplicators by watching an education video by
Replication Asia. The people at

Gain knowledge in the benefit of automated disc duplicators
If you have the need for high output and fast turnover, you probably have or are looking to purchase an automated CD and DVD duplication system. These types of systems take little to no manual operation, but they are also more technical and tricky than a manual duplication system. Take the time to know the product you are working with and what to do if something goes wrong.
I recommend: Visit
Disk Makers and check out their instructions and videos for issues with automated CD and DVD duplicators, ranging from creating CDs and DVDs to adjusting print quality.

Broaden your information base on manual disc duplicators
If your operation is mainly a low output and slow turnover business, you most likely have invested in or are looking at manual disc duplicators. There will be more steps for you to perform versus using an automatic disc duplicator, but the end product will still be the same. However, it's important to learn the steps correctly and in the order they need to be performed.
