Can you add a link to the printer paper you use? Can you do a follow-up with how to use free layout sw and your printer settings? Thank you so much for this video.
Brodart dust jacket covers are a game changer. I like to put a small piece of tape connecting the cover with the inner flap on the top and bottom so the cover stays on when I'm reading.
I use Brodarts as well, but I get the precut ones from their website. I get the Darkhorse Omni size, Normal Omni, and Library Size. I took some Omnis to a show to get signatures and ripped the heck out of one of the Brodarts. It completely saved my dust jacket. I highly recommend them.
Hi! love your video, if you were to print a dust jacket in a store how would you ask them to print it? like the settings and what paper do you suggest using? thank you!!
Great question! The files I get from Roy are great because all of the dimensions are already built into the file. I use 255 gsm high gloss paper. Tell them to print it boarderless. Some of the big print shops like Staples or Kinkos may not do it due to copyright issues. I had to find a smaller independent shop to start off with.
Nice set up & good info. Do you do anything with your TPB, do you cover or rebind those? If so have any recommendations. Iam looking for alternatives for my TPB.
I dont have very many paperbacks. I usually only go for the Hardcover books. I havnt actually ever done a bind from TPB. The few I have I just use the standard bag & board method. If your looking for answers for binding your TPB into a hardcover I would start with online groups and ask folks that have done it before. Here are a few places that I visit.

Not for everyone and not "necessary". However they do help reduce shelf wear on the dust jackets. most of my Marvel books have custom DJs as well. So for me its just a little extra protection for my investment.
I have an inquiry please am trying to reprint comic book out of stock via printing company and the problem they do require to set margins and bleeding points before uploading files and honestly I have searched all over the internet to find away to determine the right margins and bleeding points for my comic book the size is 8.5x11 inch and I couldn’t come up with an answer I would appreciate any tips thank you. key points that I already found and didn’t help me are cover type, page count, book size, paper weight and material unfortunately 😂 they didn’t help in narrowing down the final margins and bleeding needed i would appreciate your assistance thank you 🙏
@@ma8mad801 i wish I could help but when i get a file from Roy everything is in the file. You just print and the dimenaions are all baked into the file. I dont habe to go through all that. I bought my own printer and i primt at home
I dont actually make the files. I just print, fold, and wrap them. For me to print DJs for folks it would be stupid expensive with the cost of ink, paper, and shipping. Not to mention I could get in big trouble if I started selling them.
I cant, lol Honestly OPB has a pay in 4 payment option. So when the new FOC drops every month I usually do a pay in 4. Right now I have a few grand in credit because OPB bought my entire statue collection. So at the moment Im not even spending money on them.
My god a $1k+ for the equipment 😱 Anyone have an Etsy shop to custom print these? I wanted to make the English manga covers as dust jackets for my Japanese manga books simply because I prefer the English cover art better. Looks like thats not going to be possible
Yea I was using a local print shop but they got greedy and went from $12 per print to $25. If I were only doing one or two every so often I would proly have kept doing that. But the volume I print at the printer will eventually pay for itself.
@@BadWolfComics I'm honestly jealous of the fact you could find a local print shop that could print these. I've asked all over my city, and seems like the majority don't even carry the necessary kind of paper. A lot have never heard of the gsm weight measurement, so I had to try to find 80lb or 100lb high gloss. And nobody had that in a size that fit my 22"x9.5" cover. The closest I could find, ridiculously, was Fedex/Kinkos, and they gave me some kind of poster stock at about $25. So frustrating!
@@natebetzen I did go to a shop at first but then they tried to charge me almost $30 per print. At that point I bought a large format printer and I print them myself. At $30 each its has already paid for itself.
@@BadWolfComics I found another guy who suggested using Walgreens, because you can get a pretty deep discount with coupon codes. Not perfectly ideal, because the paperweight will be off, but maybe a good middle ground until I can convince myself buying myself a large format printer is the way to go :)

I will look that up and drop a link later tonight when I get home.
Super jealous that you have your own printer! I never thought about wrapping the dust jackets, gonna have to give that a try.
Just an extra layer of protection. You can get your own printer. Amazon does payments. Thats how I got one. lol

Dang, this is at a whole other level, nice work man!
Thank you! and Thanx for watching!!
Those look amazing. I really need to replace some of the dust jackets on my books too. Nice job!
🔥🔥🔥
Fascinating process
Thanks for taking the time to show us this! 👏
Happy to do it!! Thanx for watching!

THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Glad you like it!
Nice work man and beautiful DJs. Have you thought about lamination DJs instead of brodart covers?
I have considered it but the cost of laminating all my books would be high in comparison to what I spend on brodarts.
LOVE THIS!

@@BadWolfComics will do thanks for the reply, rebinding is an option. But I wanted to look at some type of polye sleeves 1st, not the bag method.
Cool video. Roy is 👌.
The Brodarts is completely unnecessary though lol

@@BadWolfComics ya I get that. They look great so why not protect them. Cheers.
Please make a detailed video for the document process. There is no tutorial on TH-cam on it. Making the dust jacket covers is the real challenge!
I dont make them myself. I have a friend that makes them. I am still learning that part of the process myself.

@@BreathingWinds4k go to bad wolf comics FB group and DM me. I can tag Roy or send him your info
hi, great video. How many Dust Jackets are you able to print wiht a $250 worth of ink cartridges?
30ish
@@BadWolfComics Awesome, thank you!
What paper did you use for them (sorry if you said in the video)
Gloss Photo Printer Paper 10 mil 255 gsm off Amazon.

Would you ever consider making customs for others? I have intrest?
I dont actually make the files. I just print, fold, and wrap them. For me to print DJs for folks it would be stupid expensive with the cost of ink, paper, and shipping. Not to mention I could get in big trouble if I started selling them.
How much does it cost to print with paper and ink?
around $10 - $12 per print
So since each jacket is about $8.33 ($250 ink / 30 copies is how I did the math) how much do you sell these for?? $8.33 seems high.
I dont sell them. All customs on Bad Wolf Comics are from my private collection and not for sale.
How can you afford all those omnibus’s?!
I cant, lol Honestly OPB has a pay in 4 payment option. So when the new FOC drops every month I usually do a pay in 4. Right now I have a few grand in credit because OPB bought my entire statue collection. So at the moment Im not even spending money on them.
What kind of paper do you use?
High gloss 255gsm when I get home this evening il try to remember to drop a link to the paper I order.
Hell yea brother I thought I was the only one that wrapped my dust jackets 💪😁
Its the best way to protect the dust jacket. Thanx for watching!
Can you please give a link to the paper you are using
Sure thing! Here ya go!

I just laminate it and it's worked and lasts ages
I considered doing that. But as many as I print it would get expensive fast. Plus I keep the OG DJ and place it in the brodart with the new DJ.
My god a $1k+ for the equipment 😱
