There's so many aspects to that question, but I'll have a go.
The first thing to point out from the materials aspect is that there are compliances everywhere with vinyl records. They are essentially lubricated with plasticisers which are needed to give some reasonable playing life given the accelerations involved. They also depend upon shrinkage in the pressing stage, the metal stamps engineered to allow for material relaxation. There is a slight shrinkage in cooling, and this helps shrink errors as well.
However, these processes lower fidelity. The original masters, or even direct to disk recordings, use chiselled stylii driven by a high precision lathe and electromechanics to carve the track in the material. Corrected phasing, given that a difference in track lengths is present between left to right, is also performed.
So materials that could do with some annealing after deposition could help, at least until higher resolutions become available. Following a correct RIAA curve of course matters and using a steep low pass filter rather than down sampling an already phase damaged mp3 would help.
At the moment all this is hobby stuff though. Allowing material reflow would probably be the best way to preserve the life of the stylus and reduce noise. It's first playing will be carving off the printer resolution deposition errors.
