what are you interested in knowing and doing?<div><br></div><div>there are different vinyl formats with different advantages and at different costs involved.</div><div><br></div><div>From a dub plate(single copy acetate disc) to a "regular" vinyl the costs and durability are very much worlds apart.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In a regular vinyl pressing the most expensive part of the process is the mold that will be used to press the vinyls. It's a one off cost good for several thousand units(I forget how many pressings one can get out of a mold before it degrades).</div>
<div><br></div><div>There's also different vinyl weights, colours. Both of these things impact greatly on what the record will be like in the "future", after many many plays.</div><div><br></div><div>any specific questions don't hesitate as this is a very vast subject. There is no universal rule and output standard in vinyl production.<br>
<br></div><div>a rule of thumb is if you don't intend on making less than 300-500 units it's not reasonable financially.</div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 1:05 AM, Thaniel Lee <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:thanielionlee@gmail.com">thanielionlee@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
