Ahhhhh….Spring is here and with it a convention somewhere EVERY weekend!

I just got back from a wonderful trip to Anaheim and WonderCon. I met a lot of you there and not a chance to introduce us and our services to a lot of creator/publishers. I love attending conventions. Conventions are invigorating. They make you want to go home and create! They give you that drive to finally finish up that next issue you’ve been working on for a mighty long time. It’s heartening to see the passion to create comics in so many people.

Here’s to a Great 2013!
January 15, 2013 – 9:11 pm | No Comment


Welcome to a brand new year! 2012 was a fantastic year for us, but we’re especially excited for 2013!

We are presently hip deep in a complete and total revision of the Ka-Blam site (we had hoped to have it ready to spring on you by now but December turned out to be a far, far busier month than we had anticipated). The rebuild of the Ka-Blam site has been a long time in coming. In addition to being completely redesigned, the new site will be more streamlined, more user-friendly, and information will be better organized and easier to access. The ordering and re-ordering processes will be more intuitive, more straightforward. The User Control Panel will be more concise and easier to use. Same goes for the Message Center … streamlined, intuitive, easier to grasp. We’re re-writing the technical specs (we’re not changing the specs, but trying to explain them better) as well as the FAQ.

And of course we’ll be adding some ALL new products (which we’re very excited about) and a MAJOR new service! More to come on both of those …

There’s also changes coming to IndyPlanet and IndyPlanet Digital … including the long awaited, oft asked for IndyPlanet Digital mobile app! Plus, we’ll be launching yet another site later this year which will be of special significance to all independent creators and publishers! More to come on all of those as well …

So, once again, … here’s to a Great 2013!

A Note about USPS Shipping Costs

A Note about USPS Shipping Costs

We love the US Postal Service around here. They are our default — and by far our preferred — shipping option. And as is to be expected from time to time they have to raise their shipping rates. They have recently done so. Normally, we don’t even mention this sort of thing. Shipping costs increases are expected …

Pages vs. Sheets

One of the most common mistakes we see on orders is with regard to page count. There is a tendency to confuse sheets with pages. Don’t make that mistake. Sheets and pages are NOT synonymous
