Lacquer cut vinyl suggestions? [Europe]

Hey,
Some people have expressed interest in getting one of my band's releases on vinyl (it's only on tape), and I'm nothing if not a crowd pleaser. So I'm exploring places that offer lacquer cut vinyl [in Europe]. Any experiences you wanna share, ILF?
I've had a couple of good suggestions so far, but keen on surveying more. I'm looking to do a double-sided 10" with a full-colour jacket (preferably with a spine, but, if not, a sleeve will do). Not sure how many, but probably around 5-15.
Cheers!

I think if you wanna do that many you are better of just pressing 500 records. Laquers is not something I imagine are cheap to make in big quantities. You could always scatter them in charity shops and make cryptic ebay auctions with burner accounts to build artificial hype. Have you asked in some place that is more intuned with techno dance musicks? Not that i doubt there are any ILF:ers that have experience but I imagine if you asked on muffwiggler you'd get more folks that have done dub plates

Sorry! I didn't mean to say that. What I meant was: Just build your own lathe lmao

Didn't think I'd get any replies here!
As I said, I specifically don't want big quantities, but around 5-15 cuts.
There's a place locally that I think I might try, just 'cos shipping costs are awful for me being in a non-EU country.
Also, RE: build your own lathe—absolutely not hahaha don't give me any ideas

It’s an idea.
My only experience has been in the us so… it wasn’t a bad one.. but it was also 5 years ago…
