best place to get cd duplication + artwork?

[spoonie g]

The best I've found seems to be diskfactory.com, but I have no idea what kind of quality they will yield. Does anybody have experience with one of these services?

I know www.diskmakers.com are good, but it will cost you some $$$$$$$

[spoonie g]

well, affordability is an issue as well....

i was looking for deals about a year ago and http://www.nycd.com is where i found the best price.

you have to email them for a quote. last year i was quoted 1200 dollars for a full color, 4 page insert, and a full color insert on the back with a clear tray and full color printing under it. the whole thing was with whatever the largest number of colors those places can do. same with the actual cd. and it included one of their barcodes.

the college i go to has these online english lesson things that you take while taking a normal english class, and they give you a lesson cd also. the cd was printed at nycd......it wasn't anything fancy, but that's the reason i thought to check them out.

Some friends and I run www.anchorcd.com where we do this sort of thing. Fill out the form on the site and we'll work something out.

ok.... our cd is in the final stages of mixing/mastering. I'll get back to you when it's done.

If I were you I would get 'replicated' CD's rather than 'duplicated' ones. Replicated CD's are the ones where they press the information onto the disc. Duplicating them is just like doing it on your CD-R/RW drive in your computer, although I'm sure the lasers are a little better in the manufacturing process of most companies then your computer one.

$1,490. does'nt seem to much for 1,000 CD's with four page folder, tray card, jewel box, and free UPC bar code. That's if you can do your own artwork for your project.

yeah. my girlfriend and my singer's boyfriend are both graphic design artists. they're going to do it for us.

I can get you a deal on short run cds if you dont want 1000. They are real cds (not cd-r) shrink wraped and everything. Trust me its about the best deal on the net.

I checked your site and pressed alt-f4 when I saw "there" used as "their" on the front page.

..or maybe it's just some ghetto talk and I don't get it. if so, plz ignore.

peace!
