Pro-Copy in Morley (ph: 9375 3902, fx: 9375 3903) will do limited runs of 
CD's for a reasonable cost.

$500 for 100 cd's, which also includes (full colour??) printing directly 
onto the CD - artwork can be supplied via disk in any popular format.

The CD's are burnt on CD-R discs and smaller runs can be quoted on.

Speak to Mark or Lindsay.

Richard

I researched pressing CDs 8-12 months ago. The prices then were basses on
a minimum run of 1000 units with a one off mastering fee and included silk
screening of the disk and printed cardboard sleeves. Costs ran out to ~$2k
 - $2.5k (most of which was in the mastering fee)

Having said that though the market may well have changed enough to make
short run pressing viable. Here's some URLs to try...
