i've written and designed a book that is too labor-intensive for hand-printing in large volume (i have screen-printed white ink over (and under) black laser-printing on brown craft paper). i have been encouraged to try to get this book published, and am looking for a publishing house that works with production houses that are willing and able to do larger print runs using less-than-conventional printing techniques such as these. do you have any ideas? thanks for posting!

I am seeking a reasonably priced printing company for short runs.

Hello, I am planning to publish a "comic style" paperback. I have been thinking about publishing this book in 6x9 w/ black & white interior via POD, but wanted to make sure and think long term of how I could publish this in color down the road. (Publishing color POD for 120 pages is going to price myself out of the market) What I am generally seeing is that color POD doesn't generally print in 6x9. Would it be wise to print b/w in 5.5 x 8.5? That way if I come out with a full color version, the book would have the same dimensions. Would a comic style paperback translate well into 5.5 x 8.5 or is this too small? I can't help but think about the Archie Comic Paperbacks that are approximately that size. Seems to work fine... I am a brand new publisher, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Do you also provide distribution?
