Once you have cut a master laquer, you have metal stampers created and have records pressed from them. Discuss manufacturing here. (Record Matrix Electroforming- Plating, Vinyl Record Pressing.)

High Record Demand: Lacquer Availibilty?

With the current increase in demand, is MDC able to keep up? Just curious if that is part of the bottleneck. It's still seems scary that there is only one source for lacquers.

We can source enough lacquers from MDC to keep our cutting operation running. And we cut more then ever. They must have expanded their production bigtime.
I don't think lacquer is the bottleneck - there is just not enough pressing plants for the demand right now.

That's good to hear. It would be nice to have more than source though.
