Distribution: Press CDs	Print

03 Make 50+ CDs There are plenty of pressing companies who will do short runs of CDs for you, maybe 50 at a time.
These will be also be CD-Rs but probably won't have the green dye on the bottom so they will look a bit more professional. Most duplication companies offer a complete package and will print and even design sleeve artwork. Have a look in music magazines or the phone book for details of duplication companies in your area. Price depends on how many you order, but expect to pay around £2 per disk if you want 100 or less. Most places will copy directly from a CD master that you supply. If you bring in a DAT cassette they may charge you to make up a master CD that they can duplicate.
