andy. Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 What do you guys do for tests that don't have jackets? Do you just leave them in the white cardboard jacket or get one made up for it? Two of mine don't have anything special for the jackets. One just came in a paper sleeve. Nothing else. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 What do you guys do for tests that don't have jackets? Do you just leave them in the white cardboard jacket or get one made up for it? Two of mine don't have anything special for the jackets. One just came in a paper sleeve. Nothing else. Just curious. Personally, I always tell myself that I'll make covers for mine. As of now I have a handful of tests, but no jackets for any of them except for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Is that dude from Ohio still on the boards? Joe? He did a cover for a test of mine like 5 years ago that was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_Sofa Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 What do you guys do for tests that don't have jackets? Do you just leave them in the white cardboard jacket or get one made up for it? Two of mine don't have anything special for the jackets. One just came in a paper sleeve. Nothing else. Just curious. There's been a few ppl who haev offered varying custom jacket services, but all appear to be either MIA, or not doing it currently (or anymore?): Here's the links: Lasercut jackets (very cool): http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/83982-laser-cut-test-press-record-sleeves-what-i-do/ Screen printed: This guy ended up MIA: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/91238-screenprinted-jackets-labels-bands-one-off-test-press-jackets-etc/ This guy is on hiatus: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/71163-custom-screened-test-press-sleeves-25-shipped/ I have a handful of things I would like one-off custom jackets made for. The problem seems to be that making a single jacket is time-consuming for the artist and thus can cost a pretty penny. But the guy on hiatus was doing them $25 shipped, and the guy who went MIA had this pricing scheme: basically here's a quick price breakdown: single sided 12" jackets $15ppd double sided 12" $25ppd 4 sided gatefold 12" $40ppd single sided 7" $8ppd double sided 7" $14 black jackets cost a little more than plain white, and are also glossy not matte. those prices are for 1 color jackets (but the color can be whatever you choose) the more colors you want the more it adds to the price, unless you want a kind of splatter effect If we could find someone to do these, I would be so down. I'm thinking we just need to find an artist and show them there would be a market for this type of service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy. Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It doesn't even have to be lasercut. I just think the plain jacket/sleeve is ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_Sofa Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It doesn't even have to be lasercut. I just think the plain jacket/sleeve is ugly Laser cut is like the deluxe offering ive seen. Just a screen print would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docdasuess Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Got my first test press ever and it arrived yesterday, purchased The Fall of Troy's Manipulator off a very nice fellow on the Trade/Sale board a week or two ago. Super pumped and plan to spin it a ton, none of this buy it and store it away junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedunknown Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 ya travis has all those of course, I would be shocked if he sold them (unless he was given extras...) ill try and find flood and no idea on here Pretty sure I saw him mention that he couldn't sell them if he wanted to (HT related ones anyway). I still don't completely get the appeal of owning test pressings, but I own a few for odd happenstantial reasons and like making new cover art for them.
