Pressing a one-off record isn't worth the cost because of the requirement of creating a pressing mother. (Mastering, creating a lacquer, a mother, a stamper, then finally pressing.) However, for one-offs your options are basically an acetate (which'll wear quickly with play) or a lathe-cut dubplate (which can be a bit lo-fi depending on process).

There's a bunch of lathe services available: http://carverycuts.com/home/dubplates-order.html http://www.audiogeography.com/records/ http://vinylcarvers.com/ https://www.cutadub.com/
