We Pride Ourselves on Quality Control

NiPro Records has its own proprietary process based on decades of process improvements and it shows in every stamper we produce. One critical key is chemistry maintenance and our continuous / daily listening of each mother produced allows us to learn of any unsuspecting process issues before the next day’s production is begun.

ALL mothers are listened too for tics and pops and if found, the lacquer for the particular project will be played and inspected for the same defect to help determine if the problem was a form of process error, dirt or dust within the lacquer or simply a defect in the cutting material.

Other items that are important to quality and the overall inspection process are the stamper centering, backside sanding, and center forming tools.

NiPro uses an optical CMM to run an automatic inspection process for each stamper after the
centering and punching process to confirm concentricity. Many of the tools we use on a daily basis
weren’t available in the 70s and 80s – allowing us to bring new technology to an old concept.
