This is where you post information and comments about printers, vinyl pressing plants, sticker printers, shirt printers, patch manufacturers, etc.

Pirates Press/GZ for Vinyl and jackets:
Eric Mueller
PIRATES PRESS
819 30th Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94121
415.738.2268

They are starting to get a bit on the expensive side. It's best to use them for more elaborate jobs that require gatefold jackets, heavy vinyl, colored vinyl, picture disks, etc. You might be better off sending simple 7" and LP jobs to United or Rainbow in the US.

Lapel Pins R US for Patches:
Caryn Smith
Lapel Pins R Us
478 E. Altamonte Drive Ste 108, #256
Altamonte Springs, FL 32701
http://www.lapelpinsrus.com
1-800-480-6822 Toll Free

They are not cheap but they get me the patches back in less than two weeks from the time I pay them. They also do free graphic design if you supply them with the raw files. Caryn is really easy to deal with and won't be offended by Satanic imagery.

Imprint Indie Printer for 7" covers and CDs:
http://iloveimprint.com/

I use them for fold over 7" covers and CD package deals. I used to use them for 11" x 17" posters until I found 1984 Printing in Oakland.

1984 Printing for zines, posters and 7" covers:
http://www.1984printing.com/default.html

These guys have great prices on zine printing and posters. I usually use them for posters and 7" covers.

^^^^For DVD, CD packages, and related media.

What's up with Pirate's Press? Usually it's one response from them and then they wimp out altogether. 1984printing is even worse than that.

Erika records: www.erikarecords.com

Good place in the US for doing custom vinyl jobs. If you want to do something really weird, this is the best place to go. This is where I pressed the Imperium 12". The silkscreening was done by a friend of mine locally. Located in Downey, CA.

HTB press (custom silkscreening):

http://www.htbpress.com

Good place for t-shirts, and any other custom silkscreening job. Located in the US. Based in Rochester, NY.

what exactly is silk screening? i've seen the term used a lot for certain LPs, patches and whatever else.

It's a method of printing that's used for fabric. Pretty much all shirts you see are silkscreeened.
