Small-run Comic Printer

[furtech]

Found these guys via a banner ad (amazingly):

https://www.nationsprint.com/clients/racomicsdirect/

They do runs as low as 25 copies (up to 50k) and can even print on aged newsprint to make the comic look like a Golden Age book (<--pretty cool).

From what I see, they are pretty reasonable: for a full color 28 page book (24+4pgs cover), 80# gloss cover it's under $60 (which is about $2.40/book). I'm impressed. (Roz, how much is it costing for your book?)

Now all I have to do is find someone who can emulate a Golden Age inker and cool things could be afoot!

Quite a bit more than 2.40 a book (for City of Ice). Not sure what the price for Furplanet is per book. I'm still planning to print CoI #8 the way I've done the others, just so the books will all look uniorm. But for reprints anything goes.

Golden age Inking is pretty easy. XD Jsut use a brush (which I do) and a Dip pen.
