Who's doing zine subscriptions?
So, who now is absurd and awesome enough to be doing subscriptions for their zines? Alec's Phase 007 and of course John P's King Cat come to mind, but I'm wondering who here is doing it and who knows…Continue

Hey all,So I photocopy my zines cause I usually don't make more than 100 copies of the same zine at a time, maybe twice a year, which comes down to 5 cents a page. Now, I don't care too much about…Continue

Rio Safari replied to Rio Safari's discussion Printing costs-- using a laser printer vs. photocopy"Cool, thanks for the replies!
Dan C: It's definitely worth factoring in convenience...although I'm sure I'll eventually miss the convenience of not having to deal with a broken machine!

Hannah (Not Lonely Zine) replied to Rio Safari's discussion Printing costs-- using a laser printer vs. photocopy"I print at home on a laser printer.

I've not worked it out exactly…"

"Awesome. I bought one of your earlier issues from a local shop awhile back, i really dug it."
Dan C replied to Rio Safari's discussion Printing costs-- using a laser printer vs. photocopy"I think I figured out that paper and toner comes out to about 10 cents per double-sided page on my laser printer.

Hey all,So I photocopy my zines cause I usually don't make more than 100 copies of the same zine at a time, maybe twice a year, which comes down to 5 cents a page. Now, I don't care too much about the aesthetic perks of using a laser printer, but does anyone have any experience with the approximate costs of using one for zines (I know, impossible to get a cents/page, but something rough). I figure that I can pick up some okay printer for $30-$50 used and maybe rig up refillable cartridges--…See More

Rio Safari replied to Rio Safari's discussion Dino zines"Mmm, I've done a couple-- "Billy Wuzza Dino #1" which is a comic about the lives of some dinos and humans, under the pretense that dinos never died out but just became a marginalized social group. The last one I did is called…"
