Advises there are three classes of replicators, depending on quantity and price. In general, they are:

  • Pressing plants: These work for 100K units a year or so. If less than 1000/month, try the following.
  • Brokers: Companies that broker smaller orders with the pressing plants. The prices are a little higher but the service usually a lot better. His company uses two separate brokers for the roughly 50K units a year they need.
  • Finally, quick copy folks that can produce any quantity. He uses them for quick turnaround stuff. The cost is at least twice and sometimes three times as high. A word of caution: The short run copy folks copy on the CD-R format which is not as good a quality. This is the same format you would use on your own home computer when burning a CD.

Al recommends creating a relationship with a broker.

They are fast, reasonably priced and easy to work with. The have their own studio if you live nearby. They also have a printer that prints first-class four-color in single sheets so that you don't need to buy 1,000 to get a good price.
