    Thanks for all the information, I've just discovered this world and I'm really enjoying making some, especially the small format. I managed to make a python script to automatically arrange an eight-page PDF file but I have some problems with the printer, the border issue as you mentioned yourself. In the next few days I'll try to go to the copy shop to see if it's possible to solve the issue, otherwise I could buy a printer with toner.

    I’m definitely using that zig zag method, I work in procreate so I’ve had to do a bit of guess work and irl plotting to get my printing right. Is there an adaption for the zig zag method for the quarter sized zine since it’s 8 pages double sided per each 8x11 sheet?

    • @michaeljohnson4932
      @michaeljohnson4932 7 місяців тому

      Whenever I print a quarter size zine I use the same zig zag pattern to arrange the pages, but only use the top of the paper. Once it’s all in order I copy paste the pages to the bottom of the page too. Then you can print 2 zines at once, not waste any paper, and only need to make one cut!

    I delight in seeing these small books and the new wonderful name it is called. "ZINE" I taught kindergarten, first grade and second grade.This paper book was my "go to" since 1984 and REIRED 2004 to help children learn all subjects, create their own writing on and on . I love what you have done. It is not easy to write a creative story in only 6 pages.

    If you can afford it/if you have the know how: Try to go the Linux route for printers. Windows is so assbackwards for printer compatibility and most printer problems come down to that. Really, there is no reason for Windows to have such shitty compatibility. Edit: oh fuck. Okay. You have IOS. I have no idea how iOS and printers work together. Trying to setup a VM or a raspberry pi for printing still might be a decent idea to try and fix printer kinks.
