Hi there! I'm in the midst of creating a zine and just wondered if you could shed any light on printing? Like did you print it yourself or contact a company? And how much did it cost etc etc etc! Any advice you could give me would be brilliant! Jesse xx asked by jessesuitcasey

Hello! We got ours printed by Colour Copy Center in Nottingham (where we’re based) and got 21 copies for £36. This was pretty good considering some of the quotes we’d been given from other places! In terms of making things cheaper for yourself, we printed all ours in black and white and sometimes paper quality can also effect the price. Staple bind is probably the cheapest (and most effective we think as it looks more ‘ziney’). We made sure we knew what we wanted and then rang loads of places and compared prices to find our best deal. We also did a mock up version (which we printed ourselves) and took that to the printers so they had a guide as to what we wanted the zine to overall look like. Oh and (if you’re a student) ask to see if they do discount! We hope this helps and good luck with your zine :)
