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.

Can I Print a Comic with a Landscape Orientation?

Submitted by BarryGregory on June 10, 2010 – 3:08 pm4 Comments

Yes … but …

We have minimum and maximum printable dimensions to contend with. We’re not equipped to take a standard sized comic and spin it 90 degrees. So if you’re wanting to print a standard-sized comic with the staples on the short side … I’m afraid we can’t do that. Here are our minimum and maximum printable dimensions –

Width
– 5 inches minimum up to 8 inches maximum — saddle stitched or perfect bound.

Height
–7 inches minimum up to 10.5 inches maximum — saddle stitched.*
–3 inches minimum up to 10.5 inches maximum — perfect bound.

If the landscape comic you’re wanting to print falls within those ranges, then yes, we can print it for you.

    If I’m looking to do a landscape format perfect bound book with 6″ x 8″ dimensions, what would be the bleed, trim and live area dimensions?

    Thanks,
    Jason

    I’d like this format for a collection of strips so thanks for this great question – hope to get cracking soon….

    Is it possible to print a book mini comic size ( roughly A6 page size ) in landscape format, square bound, roughly 140 pages? And if so, how should I work out the charges/how to submit it to you?

    So long as the width is no greater than 8 inches we can produce a landscape format squarebound book. Just select “standard size” option and then in the “notes” field of the order tell us that it is a custom size and give us the dimensions you want.

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
