Engraving is always the first step in the vinyl manufacturing process, even for the pressing industry. It is thanks to this record called "Master", engraved in real time on an acetate record called "lacquer master" (very fragile) but also sometimes on a copper record (DMM or Direct Metal Mastering engraving), that, after the electroplating process, the pressing matrix will be produced which will be used to reproduce the supports (vinyl pressing). Engraving can also be used to create unique record vinyl records. Originally called Dubplate when it was engraved on record acetate, it can also be engraved on record plastic (equivalent to pressed vinyl in terms of lifespan and sound if well executed) and is often found under the name Gravure de vinyle à l'unité or vinyle personnalisé and even sometimes engraving Polyvinyl.

At Discomaton, engraving is carried out in real time on fully recyclable PVC plastic. Each record is produced one by one with the same high standards of quality as in the industry. The audio content sent by customers is always checked by our mastering engineers in a dedicated booth, where they adapt and apply treatments to the sound (pre-master vinyl) to homogenize the whole and maximize the quality of the engraving. This is why our prices are calculated according to the length of the sides (A and B) and the number of tracks.
