We think this is pretty cool (most people do) but to produce colored vinyl (without remnant speckles or swirls), you can pay more to clean the extruder between pressings. This will linger for the first 50-100 records until flushed out. When pressing color vinyl, you should expect a little swirl from whatever color was used on the previous run. We just won’t know until we’ve put it on the press and produced the records which is part of the fun. ![]() Some colors inherently mix better than others. But if you want something different and you’re ready to loosen the OCD reigns a bit, this stuff is super cool. If you want consistency and perfection, go with black or a single color vinyl. This is a slow and laborious process so you’ll pay a premium for these records but the final results are pretty freakin’ rad.Ĭheck out all the unique vinyl effects we offer and get ready to have your mind blown.ĭoing color mixtures and achieving specific color effects is not an exact process and it’s not supposed to be. These effects are achieved by hand making each vinyl puck and then manually placing it into one of our Semi-Automatic (mostly manual) pressing machines. If the Swirl color effect doesn’t quite make you poop your pants with delight we offer a variety of color configurations sure to bring a smile to even the most surly record collector. This is because of the design of the extruder screw on those presses (nerd engineering speak).Ĭolor in Color, Splatter, Half and Half, Tri-Color, etc. The 7” will just take red and white and make pink. The swirl technique works great on 12” and 10” records but, unfortunately, not on the 7″ presses. If you want them to all be identical, order black. This makes a swirly combo of colors that looks awesome and varies from record to record so each of your customers will receive a one of a kind look. We make this by mixing two or more colors of PVC into the hoppers.
