shipping is in fact a bit steep, especially on large quantities. as rg said, it'd be more fun to have them printed locally and it could actually save quite a bit of money.
@8gb thanx for the link, i completely missed out on that "scandal"

jeff, just get marbled vinyl as it's cheaper. price them accordingly and its worth it in the end, and by that i mean you wont lose money.

i'd rather pay a little more for quality than get cheap vinyl.
the last thing i want are my records being played out after only a few plays.
on top of that.. low-end is typically lost on cheap vinyl... i refuse to sacrifice quality just cuz it costs less. even if i have to sit on 100 of the 300 i pressed.

this is why im skipping on using marbled vinyl, its just a rough trade off to save 15% or so on the pressing and have a reduction in quality, when the high quality is a key benefit to vinyl over other formats to begin with

Coming in here to evangelize for Kunaki, I was already taken in by the low pricing and wasn't even aware of how simple the whole process is. Had low expectations for the album art, but it came out just as good as Reverbnation which was charging me upwards of $5.30/disc with shipping. Kunaki is it for me from now on!

How's the playback and actual quality of the disc? I imagine this uses CD-Rs and not real CDs.

Um I looked into Kunaki and they have a legit CD manufacturing facility so these are NOT CD-Rs.

I'm using Trepstar.com for my cds. I tried them a few years ago and the quality wasn't that great. I was tired of all the problems i've had with kunaki so I switched back. And to my surprise, the quality is now much better. Am I just thinking it's better? Anyone else use trepstar.com?

I had one of my old old EPs made with Kunaki and it is a CD-R (green bottom). This was 2008 so maybe it's changed since then, but.

I'd say it's most likely CD-Rs.
The quantities they produce are no where near enough to warrant cutting a die for.
