Any recomendations on a CD pressing service that would produce very short
runs, something like 10-20?

I'm concerned about the logevity of CDs I produce myself with my home PC. I
assume something professionally pressed would stand a better chance of
lasting longer.

If you mean a glass mastered punch CD - its unlikely you'll pay any less
then what it costs to get 500 made. But unlike cdr's it would likely last a
lifetime - assuming the manufacturer takes care with what they do. If its
really important to you, its worth the cost.

If you get a run of ten or twenty, they will be the same CD-Rs that you get
on your home PC.

If you want a real pressed CD, the minimum run is normally 500 units, although
it often costs just as much to get a thousand as to get five hundred.

What about just using better quality blanks?

Well, you should certainly be using the best quality blanks you can get.
If you have a way of measuring your error rate, pick the blank and speed
combination that gives you the lowest error rate.

But, don't expect anything like the longevity of a pressing.

The audio-machine readability of blanks has dropped like a rock as speed
capability has increased.
