Exactly, Krispen, and my own strategy is devised to handle a fairly 
small fun of CDs

My own plan is always that if a sudden massive demand came in (not 
likely, but I never want to limit myself to a concept)
then you can turn over the artwork to someone else to do all of the 
work.   At that point, you'd be making enough money to
justify adding to the expense of your CD duplication process.

In fact,  after the next imminent 3 DVD release (Lemon, Orange,  Ruby 
Grapefruit) and one more abstract electronica CD that I"m considering 
putting out putting out,
(BLUE EYE)   I will be probably be ending my long running
color series of releases and I proabably WILL go the Kunaki route for 
subsequent releases.

Thanks for your acknowledgment of my process.
There seems to be a disturbing trend of making people wrong because they 
don't agreee with one's own personal strategy that creeps up
on this list occasionally and it's nice to have a dialectic about it all 
that informs and helps us grow as we express our own aesthetic
and technical approaches to things.
