If this is the first time you're making CDs and you're shopping around, look no further! We've been making CDs since the early 1990s for demanding clients like yourself who want a real professional quality product at an affordable price.
These CD Pressing packages include: Offset printing of the covers on an offset press with AQ gloss (not a digital laser printer). Please be sure to compare specs carefully, because we know most competing quotes for less than 1000 units will include digital instead of offset print. If you want to save a little bit on a 250 piece order, we can custom-quote with digital print. Cardboard wallets and jackets include sturdy 14 to 15 point cardboard with an option for thicker 20 point board or brown recycled chipboard. Aqueous (AQ) gloss coating on the board and paper products adds a nice sheen and protection from fingerprints and scuffing. A matte AQ coating is available as an option. All paper is FSC-Certified (Forest Stewardship Council) High-quality precision glass mastering and stampers for low disc error rates and reliable playback Skilled pressmen to get the best print results Guaranteed turntimes FASTEST TURNTIME in North America for a professional product Secure double-boxing of your CDs for safe shipping anywhere in North America A dedicated and motivated staff! |

| · | For CD PRESSING packages we assume you will supply a final mastered DDP image from your mastering engineer. Some studios still supply a master on audio CD-R which we can convert to DDP image. If you want to supply audio files to make a CD pressing you need mastering. Your studio could do it or refer you to a mastering engineer. If we are to do a straight transfer of your audio files to CD your files MUST be 16 bit, 44.1 kHz WAV or AIFF format and you must choose the option for how much space you want between the songs. **If you are supplying audio files please pay special attention to the specified space between the songs. If your tracks have been mastered as an album then it is likely that you want the default option "0 pause seamless mix" because your mastering engineer has already set the spaces between the songs. Otherwise you may want 2 or 3 seconds between songs. Finding the right pause is what a mastering engineer will help you with. |
