slow day at work...

average price to press 1000 cds with 2 colors (no cases etc..): 750
max: 74 min 

good price to press 1000 pieces of 12 inch vinyl: 1045 
max: 22 min per side.

above price includes: plating and mastering


remember when you get vinyl pressed you have to pay for plating and
mastering.  With cd you do not.  You can send your master to them and they
will use it (ie you can master it yourself)

now if you know a cheaper place for vinyl that can offer good quality let
me know.  I have found much cheaper for cd.  I am sure I can find vinyl
that is cheaper but quality is important. 


sorry for the non idm subject matter...
