There are a few pressing houses that deal in CD's They have multimillion
dollar pressers. Those CD's from those houses can cost as little as 2
bucks a CD. The ones that you get for your PC (the cd presser that is)
use a media that is 20ish bucks.
There are also some other costs, so it works out that if you press
more than 150 or so it is cheeper to send it to a CD house. If you
do 20 or 30 it is cheeper to do it yourself.
