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!

Thanks this was super helpful. I have to print a full magazine for a class but due to covid everything is online so I can't feel the samples my teacher owns. I didn't know you offered a sample pack so I just ordered one since I want to feel the weight before I get it printed :)

[@MixamPrint]

Good thinking Nicole! Our free sample packs are a great way to see (and feel) the papers and finishes we offer.

I like how on point your explanation is, thank you! :D

[@MixamPrint]

That's great to hear - thank you!

Can you make a video with the binding types offered. There are no wire-o example imagery on your site

[@MixamPrint]

Hi Brimme, thank you for your feedback! We have passed this on to the relevant team. In the meantime, you are welcome to check out our Support page, which will give you more information about the binding options we offer: mixam.com/support/binding.

Awesome! Thank you so much 😊

[@MixamPrint]

No problem - hope this helps!

You're welcome - hope this helps!

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.

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

[@MixamPrint]

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! 😀

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

[@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! 😊

can use cm for your comics? and if so how can you do that?

[@MixamPrint]

Hello Philip, thank you for your question. We list our US and CAN comic book sizes in inches, and our UK and AUS comic book sizes in mm. While these measurements cannot be converted, you can use an online conversion calculator to get an idea of the dimensions we list on our product pages.

[@erickajefferson5461]

What size are those

[@MixamPrint]

Hi Ericka, thank you for your comment. If you are UK based, you can visit www.mixam.co.uk/samples to order a Product sample pack and Papers, if you wish. If you are a US-based customer, we can't offer sample packs due to the current international paper shortages. However, you can request Product and Paper Sample packs manually via email at [e-mail]. Please include your name, address and contact details, and we will send your sample pack(s) to you as soon as possible. Thanks again!
