Another very well reviewed digital printer is Comic Well Spring, a division of Greko Printing. Up to this point we haven’t had any experience with them but we will try them out in the future since we’ve heard many good things about their quality and prices.

If you’re thinking of going through the direct market route or your crowdsourcing efforts result in hundreds of reward “orders”, your best option will be offset printing. Quality is even better than the already good results of digital printing and the price per unit difference is huge once you go over a certain number of copies. Of all the companies we have contacted that offer offset printing both in the US and abroad, we are leaning towards using PrintNinja when the time comes. They print the stuff in China but also have offices in the US which makes communications and logistics easier. We have examined a package of samples, which they will send upon request, and found the quality outstanding. Their printing price is hard to beat, an advantage which is sadly diminished once you add the shipping cost from China, although it’s still cheaper than most. They provide a price calculator on their website that let’s you know your costs in seconds.
