Sorry to ask a stupid question but how did all those music stores press all these boots or was the pressing equipment easy to get?
Record stores didn't press them, they purchased them from the bootleggers.
Check out this blog by one of the "Liver than you'll ever be" bootleggers.
There are several links to different stories he has to tell, including how they got them pressed. Fascinating stuff...

The first I bought ,from someone who offered cd's in a Dutch fanclub magazine, was "Urban Jungle" aka Wembley '90 a rare Japanese bootleg cd, which was released at the beginning of 1991. When I got it from my local postoffice I couldn't believe I realy had it in my hands. In the middle of the night I even got out of my bed, just to check I didn't dream it.

Nice story! For me it was the Atlantic City 3-cd black box. Sony lawyers were breathing down Dieter S.(the TSP boss)'s neck so he couldn't use any band image for the artwork. I didn't know this at the time, I thought the "all black" look was a decision from TSP's art department.

My first boot L.P. I ever got came from an ad I saw in a U.K. paper for a mail order of the... "The Hyde Park Concert" in Sept 1969. It was just a white album with a stamp on the label "HYDE PARK" It was pressed with the heavy U.K. vinyl lacquer

After seeing my first Stones gig in Orlando 1981 I found the 3 LP box of Hampton. I was very excited. But there was one problem, the third disc was somebody else, what a way to be introduced to Stones bootlegs.
