Quality-wise, big dupe houses do pretty much what they do at my local print house, but on a larger scale. And I always think the quality of the graphics transcends the medium - a great tiki design printed at a slightly lower dpi is better than a lousy one printed higher.

We'll find out, cause I'm doing exactly this for a rather popular Hawaiian band from the L.A. area right now. I'll post results and pricing info when it's done.

And 'lossless' compression is over-rated. Most of the higher quality MP3 compression routines are in fact compressed lossless, they compress by skimming over the duplicate info that makes up a lot of recorded sound. WAV files were created before decoding on the fly was affordable to home listeners; I'd argue it's as of today an antiquated format. (!)

Anyway, it's your band...
