Is an aluminum case better than a steel case for a duplicator?

Yes. An aluminum case is vastly superior to a steel case. Not only is aluminum lighter, but it gets rid of the damaging heat inside the duplicator up to 3 times faster than the standard steel casing. Duplicators generate a tremendous amount of heat during the burning process, so using an aluminum case will greatly decrease the temperature of the unit and increase the quality of the burn and expand the life of the duplicator.

What is a PC Connect CD DVD Duplicator?

Some CD and DVD duplicators are manufactured to operate via a PC connection and may incorporate an auto loader. The PC connection would allow you to master/create your CD and DVD directly from a host PC, ususally running windows. The device will connect either via USB, Firewire or a combination of the two. The autoloader function will allow the CD DVD duplicator to operate automatically without human intervention. The auto loader will insert and remove discs in the copy and print cycle.

What is a Standalone Autoloader CD DVD Duplicator?

Whereas an autoloader minimises the requirement for human intervention in the CD and DVD production process. The use of a standalone autoloader may offer further advantages to some user groups. For example a standalone autoloader that can be used in remote locations where there is no access to a host PC. At live events a live audio CD recorder may be used to creat a master disc. This disc can then be used in the standalone duplicator with autoloader device. So the key advantages would be portability with the benefits of unattended operation.

Whatever your in-house productin requirement you can be sure that there is a tower solution to meet your needs. When considering an inhouse solution that needs to help your business turn a profit NEVER discount tower duplicators.

A low cost tower copier will likely have 5 times the output of an auto copier that comes in at 5 times the price. Think about that.
