How to Print a Magazine | JÓN Magazine & Mixam | Behind the Scenes
Hi there! How is delivery, packaging and postage managed? And can it be sold internationally? Do you also offer this service for magazine/zine printing? Thank you :)
Delivery, packaging, and postage is all handled by us for our print-on-demand offering! All you have to do is set the price you are looking to sell it at and we will take the production cost from the retail price each time a book is sold. We do have this available for paperback options including zines, and can ship internationally with PrintLink on our US website. Hopefully this helps! 🙂
Does it work for dust jackets for soft-covers too? Like in manga? I know the Japanese and French publishers always do it, but I don't think I ever saw it from the U.S
You can technically create a dust jacket for a paperback cover, however, dust jackets are specifically designed for hardcover books. For the best possible results, we recommend sticking with the hardcover option.
I'd love if I could use one link to sell multiple books on one page on Mixam!
I am using Photoshop and while i upload the system doesn't recognize the bleed on my double spread pages. Can you help me resolve this. Thanks
Hi there, we are sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with our system. If you could please contact the print experts using the chat bubble on our site, they should be able to help get your artwork uploaded correctly with double page spreads. Thank you!
Didn't understand
So can i sell my book this to my audience and stuff? And how much does it cost to get it printed
Yes you can! The cost for this will depend on the product, quantity, and print specs you select. However, our pricing does get cheaper per copy based on the more you add to your order. For reference, we have some options on our site for as low as $2.50/book. 🙂
I use ibis. is there a certain size layout that is best to use and do I still need to use InDesign?
Hi! Thanks for your question. Zines often come in smaller dimensions, ranging from pocket-sized booklets to standard magazine sizes - it depends on your vision! InDesign is a popular choice for creating print files, and you can use our free downloadable templates (found under the Calculator) as an underlay in InDesign to position your artwork within print guidelines. Alternatively, try our free 'Design Online' tool in the Calculator to upload your images and create print-ready files 😊
Hey, can make a tutorial on how to use your API on Git Hub?
Can I add pages to the middle of the book?
I've had my manga zines printed with you, nice to have the books in the official Japanese size.
Amazing explanation
Straight to the point, I wish I've found your video first instead of watching a bunch of videos without being clear about bleed and margins.
Please help answer this question, If I draw in RGB file with this color profile, when converted to CMYK later, will the colors change? Thanks in advance.
Hi, I have a question, how do I add text to the photos, or a simple paragraph with the magic tool? Thank you.
thank you
You guys should definitely add an API for authors to be able to sell books directly from their websites! This would be ideal than sharing a link to an external url.
We actually just added an embeddable PrintLink option not to long ago where you can sell your preint-on-demand publications directly on your own website. We're also working towards adding a Shopify API in the near future as well. 😃
How come this tool isn't available for softcover photography and photo books? Only works if I select hard cover, but I would prefer to go with softcover.
Our dev team is currently in the midst of adding this tool for our paperback options. Make sure to keep an eye out on our socials for more updates! 😃
I'm thrilled with the quality of the prints I received from Mixam! It would be even better if you offered printing services for bridge, poker, or tarot cards. I've tried alternatives like MakePlayingCards, TheGameCrafter, and DriveThruCards, but they come with their own set of issues-like inconsistent cuts and strange color variations, even after taking the time to create TIFF CMYK images. A service like yours for these types of cards would be a dream come true. 🤔
Excited to try on my next book!
We can't wait to see your final design! 🤩
Mixam, nice content I loved it
Thank you! 😃
Good job 👏🏻 quality is perfect but price is insanely high , people barely buy our books for max 5$ so a book should be build with high quality for max a$
So helpful! I refer to it almost every time I get to the cover design on books. :)
Is there a way fro connect Mixam's service to shopify? if i want to sell my printed book on shopify e.g
This service isn't available just yet but we have plans to add it in the near future. Stay tuned! 👀
@@MixamPrint ohhh that would be amazing👀
Can you go over details on stripe since they are handling payments? Do they take a cut of sales, do they charge for bank transfers, do they automatically deposot to your bank?
How would I go about with using krita?
My art is through procreate. I can export them out of the app as a pdf. What is indesign?
InDesign is Adobe's publishing and page layout software but procreate works as well. If you can export as a PDF than you're good to upload on our site!
@@MixamPrintdo google docs work too?
As long as you can export as a PDF on the platform it should work 🙂
@MixiamPrint can you suggest some free ones?
We have two free editing tools available on our site so we'd recommend using those over anything else! One tool is for photo books only and the other is available for the rest of our products. We also have a tutorial on our UA-cam page of how the photo book editing tool works on our site. If you have any other questions about it please let us know and we'd love to help 😃
This is wonderful thank you. I have lots of questions. I haven’t applied for copyright/ibsn stuff. How did you incorporate yours? I still have to research it. I am finishing up my art now.
I think you purchase one and then add it to the file on the last page when uploading them
@@Ashghaus I appreciate you
No matter how I've gone about this, the website still is giving me an error message on sizing... despite following your instructions.
We are sorry to hear about the website troubles. We do have a wonderful team of print experts that are always more than willing to help with any print/formatting issues you are having. Please feel free to reach out to them using the chat bubble on our site or by emailing team@mixam.com with any questions. Thanks!
In the Hard Cover you have taken the bleed area slightly bigger, is the bleed area considered to be the wrapper/ foldover area there? Or the wrapper area is given differently?
I noticed on your site that the "Manga Standard" size is way more expensive than say the somewhat closer size A5. The only difference I was able to find was that the A5 had the print on demand option whereas the Manga Standard did not. Is that why the calculator has the "Manga Standard" so high, even for one copy? All my adjustments didn't seem to matter and the price was pretty close between say, 1 copy of the Manga as it was for like 20 (like a $5 difference, but was still over $40 for one copy).
Canva does not export as standard black
constructive criticism: i clicked away because it's in portrait mode
Hey there! Is invoice information included in shipments? I don't want bulk orders shipped directly to customers to have payment information. Thank you!
I have to ask, why are your comics not made with comic paper?
I'm so excited about this new feature. I already sent an email through your suggestion box, but being able to change the highlight color on the printlink page and removing the header and instead putting "fulfillment by Mixam" by the buy button would make it really easy to embed an for a printlink document. Love your stuff!
Is it global shipping? Is there a way to put it on your website?
Hi there, thank you for your comment. We unfortunately do not offer global shipping at the moment, only in the US and UK for PrintLink.
Very interesting. Going to have a go now. The sound is fine BTW :)
I was looking forward to watching this. However, the sound is so muffled, and the presenter speaks so quickly, that I cannot understand a word. Shame 🤔
Hi there, the sound seems to be fine on our end. We are by no means professionals in the film industry, only print! If you have any questions about PrintLink you can find an FAQ on our website and social media pages.
Do the buyers need to have an account in order to make a purchase?
Hi there, buyers do not need to have an account in order to purchase from your PrintLink.
'promo sm' 😊
A bit off topic, but I recently ordered two booklets from Mixam; an 8 and 40 page booket. Both of them are beautiful: colors, feel/paper, and they were all full bleed/page images with no issues. I did use their preferred ICC profile and uploaded TIFF/PDF CMYK images (i used Procreate), so I'm not sure that makes a difference in the quality. Also, I really wished they printed playing/tarot cards; postcards are close but they don't offer different image on each card front/back. Thank you again for the great printing.
Is it in Canada yet?
Hi there, not yet. We're hoping to introduce PrintLink to Canada in coming months though!
Where does mixam sell your book? On their website?
Your custom PrintLink can be posted on your own website and social media pages. A Shopify integration will be coming very soon as well 🙏🏻
Does Print link make comics?
Yes we do! You can get a free quote here: mixam.com/print-link.
Will PrintLink also be available in Europe ? Like france or germany ? If so that'd be so great , since it honestly seems like a life-saver for self-publishers.
We're working to make PrintLink available worldwide, though it may be a few months. We'll post PrintLink updates as they emerge. Cheers
Can mixam be tied into Amazon fir an order ? How does the customer receive a book printed by Mixam ?Or do I receive the printed books and ship them directly to customers myself ?
Hi there, we can ship bulk orders to an Amazon warehouse if desired. In this case, you will need to communicate with an Amazon warehouse rep, as sometimes there are special shipping instructions. If you go the print on demand route, however, your customers can buy directly from your customized link and we will manage the fulfillment. Feel free to contact our team with additional questions!
Thanks Mixam. Clear concise video.
thank you this was very helpful also i love your voice 💗
