I checked out DiscMakers, Kunaki and a few others when I was doing the Deathgrass CD. I couldn't use 'em. I used to be in the graphic-design business; I create my own stuff, using software that doesn't exist any more, and I want it printed exactly the way I designed it. I can convert what I do to *.pdf so other people can read and process it. No problem there.

Those guys couldn't do it. They either insisted on my using their own limited, kludgy software, on designing it themselves without letting me proof it (or charging extra if I did), or couldn't get mine right.

I ended up going with a little outfit in Orange County (CA) called Disk Faktory, which I'd used on my first CD (because they'll do short runs at a decent price). They were a little more expensive than the other guys, but they could use my design and make it come out exactly the way I'd done it. I plan to use them next time, too, for the same reason.
