Compare label printers now using our label printer comparison tool!
To do this, go to the product page of a label printer and click on "Compare".
Next, you can select multiple label printers that you want to compare.
To perform the comparison, please click on "Compare products" to the right of the online store's search box.
Now you will find a detailed comparison of your selected label printers.
The following is a recommended chart for the theoretical recording lengths for various disc formats and different types of music recording. The table lists guideline values for one side of the disc for the specified format:
As these are theoretical values the have to be viewed as recommendations only, when it comes to the cutting process the sound is the defining factor and our sound engineers will cut the lacquer to achieve the best possible output and final sound. If your track and side times add up to more than the recommended values, please consult us to analyse your files to determine the best course of action.

*Please consult with us about options if your total times are outside these values |
**This should only be applied in very special cases, such as when the frequency spectrum of the recording allows it or if it is not otherwise limited. A larger width of the groove than 70 μm is only feasible on the lacquer foil and significantly impacts reproduction time. It also creates a certain dampening on the high frequencies, especially at the centre of the record, which is due to upper limit tolerances of the lacquer technology.
