Decided the best way to make a zine “these days” (versus “back in the days”) is to get the pages printed online, and put it together yourself. Very DIY without the higher costs of local copy centers or home computer printer ink.
After a bit of research into online printing I decided to get them printed by a certain online company that I dont even want to mention their name cause they suck (sp!*#pr!%t.com). Paid for the order and got a confirmation to get it printed a month ago. Then on the day I expected to receive the package, I get this email from them…
“your order was refunded- this is a kid safe zone printing company- no pornographic material of anykind- disclaimer on home page- thanks brett”
Motherfuckers! Seriously? WTF? No notice. VERY brief email. Couldnt even figure out their reasoning. ..Until I looked at Lost’s contribution. Okay. Slightly controversial. MAYBE. But “no pornographic material of anykind” ??.. Um.. yeah.
So… on to printer #2. Took some more time to find another printer that would do it. And of course they are more expensive, but….. they’ll do it. Also dont wanna plug them (email if u really want to know who did it). And… long story short… they fucked it up. Two weeks later and….. finaaaally! Got em. Putting everything together now and I think they look pretty good.
So yeah, available REAL soon!
