The Cost of Colour in Comics


 I need to explain something about Print On Demand printing.  It is cheaper to print a black and white book in high quality ink/coated paper than colour.

If you have a 52pp book and only 4 pages are in colour it does not matter: all 52 pages are charged as colour. No option. It's all down with very little if any human (printer) interaction from file to print machine, stapling and folding.

For that reason I tend to avoid colour printing and will continue to do so unless a very special reason.

Try publishing -enjoy the eye strain and headaches!
