[Year 12 IPM] [OT] CD duplication

Wed Aug 3 15:04:47 EST 2005

Hi all

I have set up a publishing business, and can duplicate CD's and/or DVD's,
plus I can also do CD covers, jewel case inserts, etc.

If anyone is interested in finding out about costs, etc., please e-mail me
direct on abarnes at aiet.com.au with what you are after and I would be happy
to quote on it for you.

Kind regards

Many thanks, Therese.  We'll get our first job outsourced, and consider 
home-grown duplications somewhere down the track.  If we end up get our 
own copying/printing gear, we'll probably think of many other 
opportunities to use it.
