CD Replication

Multimedia publishing house Nika Game is an advanced technology enterprise for CD and DVD compact disks replication at moderate prices.

We offer you to perform replication of Your materials on the most high-quality and up-to-date equipment by the world leading manufacturers of compact disks manufacturing equipment.

We manufacture DVD disks by classical technology - professionally speaking, by REPLICATION. Present technology is also named pressing or disks prefabrication.

Unlike widespread technology of disk manufacturing by reproduction, in which disk copying is produced by writing on blank CD-R disk, in replication data is recorded on disk by industrial press. Figuratively speaking, firstly disk negative, also called stamper, is produced in factory by mastering, and then by the instrumentary of this negative copies of the disk are manufactured.

Mastering is performed on the most up-to-date mastering system DMS Evolution by Singulus Mastering BV, manufactured in Holland.

Compact disks replication is performed on high-duty line SKYLINE II by well-known German manufacturing enterprise Singulus Technologies AG.

For image deposition we use two industrial technologies, giving the opportunity of obtaining best quality - silk-screening and offset printing.
