The Relatively Big Two; or, This Kool-Aid is Delicious
June 25, 2012 1:27 pm Ka-Blam and Comicpress both have printing calculators:

I did a Kickstarter for a single issue, and printing (with Ka-Blam) and shipping together cost roughly $1000. I think, if it were 130-page trades, it's 2 grand just to print like 250 of those.
But yeah, Kickstarter numbers are all relative to how many you're printing, what you're printing, and whether or not anybody is actually getting paid. I'm not sure how you could tell who's being greedy besides gut instinct. Like that supreme court quote about pornography: "I know it when I see it"

March 9, 2012 2:06 pm "Group of nerds" doesn't exactly fill me with anticipation. Laughing-with-us Spaced nerds, or laughing-at-us Big Bang Theory nerds?
