Vinyl Cakes/Biscuits Europe

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.)

Hello fellow trolls...

Anybody knows a good source of ready-to-press cakes/biscuits? Looking for black, color and eco mix biscuits. Located in Europe and ready to order a large quantity.

Thanks.

AFAIK "ready to press" cakes are hot straight from the extruder. Not sure if they are any use when cold...but happy to be corrected if i'm wrong.

Vinyl biscuits are a thing of the past. They became extinct when record manufacturers discovered the extruder although Finebilt were still offering them in 1987.

They were slabs of vinyl pre-forms which were heated on a steam table (a big hotplate), turned over with a spatula to heat the other side then folded in half and pressed. I believe they got their spatulas from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BUDwj_mXKE
