The DVD ... Digital Versatile Disc

For a DVD pressing you first need a glass master. The glass master then contains the data to be copied. Matrixes and stampers are generated from data. The pressing process starts with the stamper, which is next pressed into a soft polycarbonate to form a “data mould”.  Simultaneously the CD is turned into its final standard form.

The silver effect is the result of an aluminium layer. This is the reflective surface for the laser light of your DVD drive. With a DVD-9 there are two layers involved. The second layer (semi- reflective layer) is formed with a reflective surface from e.g. gold. Then the DVD is fixed with polycarbonate to optimally protect the data.

In a second step colour is applied to one side. You can choose between screen printing (with Pantone or HKS) and an offset printing process with the CMYK European Scale.

The VCDHD - Storage like DVD5 but only half the amount!

The VCDHD is very flexible and therefore a perfect medium as an attachment in a journal.

The small use of polycarbonate, will preserve our Environment.

Note: 20,000 DVDs can be produced with a stamper. An endless number of stampers can be generated from the matrix. The glass mastering takes place one time only and needn’t be repeated. Therefore no further costs accrue. Stampers and matrixes will be stored for about 12 months, and when a further pressing takes place the storage time begins anew.
