Definition of digital duplicator

digital duplicator

1.  The original document is placed on a glass plate, such as a photocopier, or is sent to the digital duplicator from a computer. Then, the image is burned on a master in a pattern of tiny dots. Digital duplicators burn images consisting of up to 600 dpi. Once the image is burned into the master, the master is wrapped around a drum that contains ink. As the drum spins, the ink is pushed through the tiny holes in the master onto the paper.
