What is the difference between silk-screen and offset for replicated CDs & DVDs?

Offset printing on discs is the highest quality and it is the BISON DISC standard. It is very much like offset in commercial printing. It uses a 150 line screen which makes a smaller dot. The result is extraordinary detail and color accuracy. Silk-screen has long been the standard printing method for replicated discs. It uses a 100 line screen, and prints a beautiful image. While silk-screen will almost always match your proof, there are limitations and your final product color may vary from your proof. Because the dot is larger, the resolution is coarser. Images, like photos, may have some loss of detail. Silk-screen is the only process to use for PMS color printing. BISON is generous! We INCLUDE 5 colors offset as our standard with every order. You may select 4 color process with a white flood offset or 5 PMS colors silk-screen.

	Why does BISON DISC use 5 colors?
We use 5 colors (4 color process plus white flood) because it is the most frequently requested.

	What about over run and under run?
We always replicate overs to allow for any discs rejected during the printing process QC. Our policy is that your order may be 5% over or under. However, you will only pay for the EXACT count you receive. If you have any other questions, please contact our sales department or call us at 866-466-4061.

	What if I am in the middle of an order and I need to cancel?
For any orders that are canceled there is a 20% order cancellation fee.

What is the difference between duplication and replication?

CD or DVD DUPLICATION is a process that starts with a CD or DVD Recordable. We then duplicate or "burn" the content from your supplied master onto the recordable discs. The next process is to print you artwork directly to the disc with our beautiful full color printers. This process is ideal for short run orders or can also be the solution for larger runs needing a 24-48 hours turn time. CD or DVD REPLICATION is the manufacturing process that manufactures your disc from raw materials. These are also referred to as "molded" or "pressed" discs. This is the process that uses a glass master and stamper. Because replication starts with raw materials, this process is the most cost effective method for large orders. After the disc is replicated, it is then printed using 5 color offset directly to your disc (This is the BISON DISC standard) or PMS colors silk-screened. A standard schedule for replication is 7-10 days for CDs and 12-15 days for DVDs.
