Selling Your CD’s and DVD’s: 7th April 2022

April 7th, 2022

We are finding that more and more, selling your CD’s  in hard copy at live venues and gigs of any kind, is a vital source of income for artists.

For musicians it is usually just audio CD that they sell, but an idea worth considering is a live DVD as well.

Not many bands sell DVDs at music gigs and would be a very different and exciting piece of merchandise.

You can have a DVD in a single card wallet …just like a CD…so it is no more expensive to produce here..just few pence more for the disc.

You can get an instant price here:

https://www.duplicationcentre.co.uk/prices.html

Or you can call and chat to us for help and advice on 01702 530354.

We look forward to speaking to you.

Proofing Your Artwork: 30th March 2022

March 30th, 2022

We offer both soft ( electronic) and hard copy proofs to you, free of charge.

Some customers just want to visualise or in the case of a hard copy, see the quality of their order and how it will actually look when printed.

So for example this customer wanted to see the colour match of his disc to the digipak:

 

CD and printed art on card for proofing colour match

It can be the case that printed parts will not exactly match the colour of the same colour upload, when its printed on a disc…just the fact that they are printed on different mediums can affect the tone of the colour sometimes.

In the case of a hard copy proof we print 2 copies and hold 1 here as a control and post the other to you by Royal Mail.

You then have the option to approve straight away if you are happy with the print or to alter it by uploading new artwork to us.

We will always work with you to get the best result possible for your order.

 

Not everyone wants or needs this so if you do, just need to mention that you would like this in the notes (which is a free field text section) as you check out.

 

We have all sorts of other advice in our artwork section here:

Or you can call us on 01702 530354 and we will be happy to help you.

Recycling Our Waste Discs: 28th February 2022

February 28th, 2022

We are delighted, in fact over the moon, to partner with Revive Innovations to recycle our waste discs.

For a long time we have struggled to find a viable long term way of recycling discs.

We build up unwanted discs when, for example a machine does a “bad” print or our burners reject a disc.

Over time these mount up and apart from a few small projects, we have never found anywhere to recycle these on a longterm basis.

More news next week on Revive Innovations and the new life breathed in to our rejected discs.
