    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).

    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.

      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!

    I'm hoping to use mixam for an upcoming project, forgive me if the question is silly- but just to be sure, if i put an illustration/photo on the page, do i stretch it all over the page or only up until the first red box? do i spread the image to the first red box and have a white boarder around it, or do i spread the image until the end of the page, crossing over the red box. I just don't want anything to be cut off basically.

    • @MixamPrint
      @MixamPrint ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there! If you intend to have a full bleed image (i.e. the illustration goes from edge to edge), you will need to expand the illustration 0.125" past the page to meet the red bleed line. However, if you do not want any of the image to be cut off, you can leave a 0.25" white border between the edge of the page and the illustration. Hope this help. Feel free to reach out with any follow-up questions!

    • @MixamPrint

      Hi Jack, thank you for your comment. To reduce the risk of colour variance, we advise exporting your scan/painting in a CMYK profile (preferably GRACoL2006_Coated1v2). Once completed, you can upload the file to our website and download the PDF proof. If any colours appear differently in the proof, you may need to make local adjustments to the file. But you're welcome to contact Mixam's print experts if you need further assistance! 😊

    What would be a quick way to set up the pages to accommodate for the hinge? Part of the pages will disappear into the hinge. I know we can just set margins to include the hinge measurement. However, this would make the content on the pages look off centered. I would have to set the margin of each recto and verso page individually to make it not look off centered. Any ideas?

    • @MixamPrint
      @MixamPrint ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, thank you for your comment. We advise you to set your document as 'Facing pages' and set your margins to 5mm (UK & AUS) or 0.2" (US & CAN) on the top, bottom and outer edge. You can then set 12mm (UK & AUS) or 0.5" (US & CAN) on the binding edge. This may make your content appear off-centre, but when PUR bound, the spine/gutter area will ensure your content is centred. Hope this helps!

    I find that making a spread of the back cover, spine and front cover the way to go. As long as the spine size is correct, then the software places it correctly and removes the front cover, back cover and spine from the required pages. The 3D preview however never shows the spine artwork, which would be.a nice touch.
