Japan’s print shops are in a life-or-death situation as comiket was 80% of their revenuehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> people are talking about supporting small print shops because a lot of them might not survive…if anyone is ever interested in printing in Japan, I can answer any questions you might have!

I like Print-On’s specialty options a lot cause they are super affordable (they do lots of sales and promotional prices for submitting early) http://print-on.jp/doujin/comic/comic_main.htm
You">https://print-on.jp/doujin/co... can even put in stuff like a holographic color insert page (pic 1) for free into each book on some promotions

English fandom should honestly print and sell fanfic too https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht"> fanbooks in English are already too rare, and a lot of printshops even let you submit formats like PDF for novels

I like STARBOOKS pricing system, but you need to reserve a “submit manuscript deadline” in advance. They also have a gorgeous gallery of example work! You can compare different paper+embossing combinations here https://www.starbooks.jp/doujin/foilInfo/index.php?c=15&m=s">https://www.starbooks.jp/doujin/fo...
