heads up from me, a person who works a day job in a small business print shop; we love your art, we want to print your art, we want to help you out.
For the love of fuck if youre printing a comic book the number of pages needs to be divisible by 4. Its held together by staples so its a longer sheet folded in the middle. One sheet of paper in a booklet = 4 'sides' please help me.
If your book has 23 pages add 1 more. If it has 13 pages add 3 more. You get me. It needs to divide by 4 into a whole number or you will get blank pages somewhere in there. Extra pages can be anything. Make a goofy splash page. Dedicate it to your grandma. Scribble a little guy with a hat in the corner. Those pages will be in your book anyway they may as well have something printed on them.
This is such a small specific problem but its every day at this point Im having this conversation. Not that anyone has been a pain in my ass about it (and i dont mind if they are, its not a crime to not know stuff) but if even one person reads this and learns something new youre welcome i love you and thanks for reading.
This has been a friendly print shop PSA. Divide your page-count by 4 to help out your local printer today.
