An acetate which has received approval is called a master lacquer. After a lacquer has been cut it is sent to a factory to be electroplated with nickel. This plating is the peeled away, which results in a negative metal print of the lacquer commonly referred to as a "mother". The first pressings to be run off the mother are test pressings; these may have special labels or they may be blank. Test pressings are then checked for sound quality and technical defects; if they are satisfactory, then promotional copies are pressed, generally for radio station distribution. Finally, the commercial, or stock, copies are pressed for sale.
