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!
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 💗
Is the recycled natural paper good for dyselxic readers? It says it is off-white and it looks slightly yellow on the example image. I'm needing a paper stock that will make it easy for dyslexic readers and I am struggling to find printers who print in suitable paper.
Ill try printing mine soon
Great to hear - feel free to contact us if you need any help or refer to our helpful Support pages for more info!
... how about Australia 🙏🏻
Australia is in the works, though it's going to take some time. We'll make an announcement as soon as it becomes available in all countries!
Is PrintLink only available in the USA? I don't see the option on the Canadian site.
Hi yes, PrintLink is currently available in just the US. However, it will be available in Canada within the next few weeks. Feel free to contact us with your email address and we can notify you as soon as PrintLink becomes available in your country!

What is the best software to use for designing books?
Hi there, we advise using InDesign for book layout. If you do not have access to adobe products, Canva is a great (free) alternative!
This was very helpful thank you:)
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.
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!
Hey what’s the best option if I want the colour of my prints to match the colour of my original painting? I don’t want the colours to be much different
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! 😊
Thanks for this, have a great day! :)
I truly LOVE this direction. Let me and my team come in and give MIXAM a Cinematic finish.
thank you so much for this video! it was really helpful <3333
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?
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!
Thank you so much for this. Most videos are a 5 hour documentary, but this was short, sweet and very informative.
Hi Mike - thank you so much for your comment. We're always here to help!
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.
Hi tigershoot, thank you for your comment. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we hope to offer Previews with the spine artwork displayed sometime in the future! 🙂
Awesome! Thank you so much 😊
No problem - hope this helps!
Hello, I tried to order from your Website, but the delivery options wont load, I waited 20 minutes and its still loading. Im sure my address is correct, pls help
Hi Tamara, thank you for your comment and patience. We're sorry you're encountering issues on our website. You're welcome to refresh the page, try uploading your artwork in a different browser or contact team@mixam.com if you require further assistance.
I want to do some prints of my acrylic paintings, I have ordered a sample pack but what would you recommend in both weight and which thickness paper please. Thanks you
Hi Together We Roam, thank you for your question. It depends on the product you choose and their intended use (e.g. framed Art Prints vs Postcards). Opting for a paper stock like Silk 200gsm will give your prints rigidity and a premium look and feel. But, as a UK customer, please visit this Support page for more information: www.mixam.co.uk/support/paper. We hope to work with you soon! 😀
this was incredibly helpful!!! thank you so much!
