Who can produce stampers from 14" plastic masters

[Vinylaudio]

Hello everyone,

I am urgently looking for someone who can produce Stampers from 14" Plastic (MyShank) in Europe.

Please write me a PN.

Many Thanks

Simon

Hey! Randmuzik did it in the past. You can try there. Happy cutting!

I would also love to know which plants are or had success with this…

Hi, we have done this at Stamper Discs in the UK.

Great! How were the results? Is it something worth pursuing in your opinion?

The work we did was testing for an archival project of some very old (100+ years) metalwork. To avoid the risk damaging the irreplaceable audio an epoxy relief was made of the metalwork and then plated. This epoxy was just one kind of plastic, but I assume it would be the same as a PETG (for example) disc because from our point of view, once the disc is clean the relevant variation from a lacquer is the absence of the aluminium substrate, not necessarily the make-up of the plastic.

It worked well, and we would be able to do it again without much effort now that we have done all the experimentation. But with that being said, we're flat out busy and it's deviation from our normal workflow so certainly not pursuing any work! On the other hand, if there was an impetus to really give it a go at scale then it's doable...

Great! I'll give you a shout next week to run something by you to see your thoughts
