| Im pretty sure you can only get large numbers of presses ie 100. I have no idea of the cost, tho someone on here will. |

i dunno about that, ive seen max graham post that he's only run off a couple acetates of productions (i.e. Crank) to give to friends..
but thanx :D
im sure someone will know
i think for white labels, it has to be a large quantity, prolly not for ty acetates though |

You could get that Vestax "vinylburner", then you can do as many or
as few copies as you like. The downside is that it costs a fortune.
I have seen figures on $10000 and a new needle is like $300, gotta
change needle after 30 discs or something. |

| hmm.. i no someone that does em for £30 per vinyl.. and that gets me approx 40-50 plays. So i guess ur looking at that kinda price. |

reference acetates in the USA get cut for about $60USD for an EP, or $120 for an LP
each that is, with no minimum quantity.
then u can get like 50 Test presses at like $545

but price goes down with quantity.
if you are in the UK, you can go for Kinetic Records (same label as deepsky, starecase, etc)
you can get a 1sided acetate for GBp40, and GBP50 for 2 sided but only last 10-20 plays.

depends how you use it..
standard-wise it can last hundreds, thousands times if you keep it well..
but if you leave it lying around, collecting dust or whatever, then probably not that many times. |

| You'll get a lot more for your money by burnin' CDs. Acetates don't last very long and can be costly to have made if you're only having a few made. Hardly worth it. Also....don't keep us in suspense....what is it that you want pressed? |
