Hey pals,
I did a lot of work with printing during my grueling time in an art program at University. I want to speak to POD sites such as LULU and Blurb Books.
You need to really CAREFULLY read the TOS on these sites. Our professors used to encourage us to use POD services to sell digital versions of our sketchbooks on these sites. It seemed like a great idea and we could even offer ebook versions. Crazy awesome. The problem is, no one thought to really read their service contract before printing with them. Well after I had already started selling mine, we all realized that legally, these printers own your material. That's right. They own it.
Everyone can check it out for themselves, and I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Right now my recomendation is for a place like Indigo Ink Printing,Keness, or even MoxieCopy. You can get a test print, give it the thumbs up and get a pretty decent deal on say, a box of comics. If anyone knows MoCCA Fest in NYC, I got those printer names from people who had great looking books. A lot used the same printers, too.
Good luck!
