What is the definition of “Anaphora”?
“Anaphora” pronounced uh-naf-er-uh, a·naph·o·ra – /əˈnaf(ə)rə/ – noun. The word Anaphora is a Greek word that is used to describe the part of the Christian Orthodox Liturgy that is the Offering. It also represents our commitment to excellence.
“O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?”
The repetition of the phrase “O Lord,” attempts to create a spiritual sentiment. This is anaphora.
Anaphora Discs has developed a reputation of excellence in everything that we do, from duplicating CDs & DVDs for independent musicians, small businesses and some of the largest corporations in the world, to producing and developing national musical artists.
No one is more committed to excellence than Anaphora Discs.
What is the difference between replication and duplication?
Replication is a detailed process that involves creating a glass plate which is used as a stamp to press discs. Duplication is a much less involved process using CD-R and DVD-R recordable discs. Please click HERE for a more detailed explanation.
Which process is right for my project, replication or duplication?
Typically, replication is more suited for higher quantities, while duplication is more suited for projects that require fast turnaround or low quantities. The details of your project will usually dictate the process that you need. Generally orders of 500 or less are duplicated and orders of 1000 or more are replicated. Orders of 500 to 999 can usually be replicated or duplicated at no difference in cost although replication will take longer to complete. By default 500 to 999 quantities are duplicated unless replication is specifically requested. Contact us if you need assistance determining which process is best for your project needs.
Order placement, preparation, design formatting, & payment:
How do I place an order?
You can place and pay for your order via phone, mail, email, fax, online web ordering, or in person. Atlanta area clients can place an order in person at our consultation office. If you need technical assistance when placing an order in our office then an appointment is required. Otherwise, you may leave your order with our receptionist Monday-Friday 8:00AM-5:00PM.
For reorders of an order you have placed with us before (or reorders with changes) you may call, email or text message us at 770-926-6224.
How much is my deposit?
50% of your total price, including shipping and sales tax if applicable, is required with your order. If the total price of your order is $200 or less, then a 100% deposit may be required when you place your order. GA clients add 6% sales tax. Online orders are charged in full at the time the order is placed.
When do I pay the balance for my order?
Final balance is due when your order is completed, prior to shipment, delivery, or when order is picked up.
How can I pay for my order?
You can pay by cash, check (some restrictions), paypal or credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Please remember, if paying by check, your balance payment must clear the bank before shipment of your order.
Does Anaphora Discs have design templates?
Yes, we do have templates for your designs. Please follow this link for basic templates. Please contact us for links to booklet and specialty insert templates and the most up to date artwork templates.
In what format should I send my images and files (art, audio, video)?
For Artwork Image Design/Graphics: Images that are not included in a template may be sent as PSD (Photoshop), PDF, EPS, or high quality JPG. We also accept other file types such as Tiff, Indesign, Illustrator, and many other file formats in some instances but please check with us before submitting file types other than PSD, PDF, EPS or high quality JPG. Art files can be sent on a disc in addition to your master (if you’re providing a physical master disc) or emailed if 10MB or less individually to info@anaphoramusic.com. Accompany all files with a description of how you would like the general layout. For larger files see FAQ question “Can I upload the master disc content or design files?” below for details on submitting files via FTP.
For Audio Music Tracks: Please number your tracks within the file name of the track in the order you would like them to appear on the master disc we create for you. Check file name to ensure spelling matches your artwork track names if you would like CD-Text data to match your art.
.WAV (Waveform Audio) files are CD quality and typically give you the best quality. Make sure the original is .wav and not converted to .wav from another formatted as that will not increase quality. We can also accept MP3, M4A, AAIF (Audio Interchange File Format) and other file formats for your audio tracks so long as you’re aware the quality of the sound will not be as good as .wav files.
DDP (Disc Description Protocol) & ISO Image (For CD & DVD)
file types are also accepted for Replication orders and some limited duplication orders.
For Video files we also accept: mpeg-4, mov (quicktime) as well as other formats (contact us for details).
Can Anaphora Discs design the layout for my order?
Yes. We have excellent graphic artists that can help you with your project. From basic assistance to full concept to logo creation, we are your professional CD/DVD graphic design solution.
What is proofing (digital and physical)?
If required, Digital proofs (viewed on your computer monitor) are typically free of charge. We also offer physical hard copy proofs at an additional fee (contact us for details). Once your artwork is ready for duplication or replication, a sample view (called a proof) is emailed to you for approval if one is necessary for your particular project. The process of receiving and approving proofs is called proofing. Once your proofs are emailed to you your project is on hold until your approval is received. Please note that turn around time for your project begins after we have received your proof approval, not from time of order placement.
What kind of paper does Anaphora Discs use for inserts and tray cards?
We only use high quality paper for our inserts and tray cards. For quick turnaround quantities, typically 300 and less, we provide 100# Gloss Text Stock or 12 Point Cardstock Gloss paper, depending on the package and print scheme. For higher turnaround quantities, typically 500 and more, we provide a 100# gloss paper. Many additional custom papers and weights are available to meet your special project needs. Please contact us if you need more details or have questions about a custom project.
We love custom projects and will be happy to assist you!

Do I get the Master disc copy back?
Yes and No. Please DO NOT send your only master disc copy. If you only have one master copy and do not have the means to make an additional copy to send in with your order, then please let us know ahead of time and we will be glad to assist you in creating another copy. Keeping your master on file helps us check and verify in the rare instance should you find something incorrect with your order. It also allows us to have a master on file ready to go quickly should you need to place a reorder. We do not share or sell your info or master with anyone. It is kept in a safe locked storage department. If you absolutely must have your original master back with your order please notify us and we will return it to you with your order.
