Comic Book Printing: On Bleeds and Clearance

Posted on April 11, 2019January 31, 2023 by Comic Printing UK

Are you bleeding? You’re not? Well you should be. And by the end of this article, you will be. Welcome to the post! What in the name of Sam Hill are you talking about? One of the first things we have to do when someone comes to us with a project for the first time…

Comic Book Printing Templates

Posted on April 4, 2019January 31, 2023 by Comic Printing UK

We made some templates! It’s so obvious, when you think about it. Which says something about how little we think, I guess… Saddle Stitched Comic templates, plus bonus poster, postcard, and business card templates. Most of these have instructions for use on them, but in some cases those haven’t made it onto the template for…

Posted on March 21, 2019January 31, 2023 by Comic Printing UK

Today in our ongoing series “Questions which should have a simple answer, but do not have a simple answer and actually could do with a blog post of tips and hints” I’ll be looking at the cost of printing comics, factors to consider, and ways to reduce your costs.

A visual guide to page scaling

Posted on February 28, 2019January 31, 2023 by Comic Printing UK

Following on from the last couple of posts on the subject of scaling a wild question appears (courtesy of @RobinPierce and ‏@MD_Doodles – thanking you both kindly). It’s all well and good knowing that printing a comic litho at the US Standard size is more expensive than printing it at the CPUK UK Standard, but what does that actually look like? And as a backup…

On drawing in scale for print

Posted on February 21, 2019January 31, 2023 by Comic Printing UK

An interesting question today from one Rik Jackson on the topic of drawing to scale. It’s actually a very useful question, the answer to which is relevant to artists when they’re beginning the process of sketching, so with Rik’s kind permission I’m doing a blog post on it. That blog post is this blog post – how…

Advice for first time comic printers

Posted on February 4, 2019January 31, 2023 by Comic Printing UK
