What the AI looks for in Mastering DVD Duplicators
- Number of targets
- Size the tower to your typical run: one to three targets for small batches, seven or more for frequent large runs. More targets speed up big jobs but cost more and take more space.
- Standalone operation
- Check that the unit copies from a master disc or internal hard drive without a PC. Copying without a computer is the main reason to buy a tower duplicator over a desktop burner.
- Format support
- Confirm the unit handles both CD and DVD, and Blu-ray if you need it, plus a verify-after-burn option. Verifying copies catches bad media before discs go out.
- Drive quality and serviceability
- Prefer units with replaceable standard drives. The drives wear out first, and swappable drives extend the unit's life.
Brands that matter
- Vinpower Digital: Wide range of standalone tower duplicators.
- Microboards: Pro duplicators and autoloaders.
- Primera: Bravo-series disc publishers with built-in printers.
- Rimage: High-volume enterprise disc publishing systems.
What to avoid
- Cheap blank media, which causes most failed copies regardless of duplicator.
- Units without a verify or compare function.
