The Men From the North



Two people, Mike Bradley and Jason Paul are from Canada, they're out printers. They're here to show us how to make proofs of the magazine using the new gear. Of course, we're going to make prints with the printer, but for now, we have to act like we're using everything for the right purposes. They're here today and tomorrow. Anyone want to meet them?

A semi-related question.. what do you think about magazine/book publishers printing their stuff in China?

I mean, I know it's cheaper but what do you think of the (possible or perceived) ethical issues of doing that?

I've talked to a few people that react really negatively to the idea. So I wondered-- is your printer simply cheap and good to you? Or did you make a deliberate decision not to go the China route that so many others are...?

Hope that's not too probing and off-topic. Congrats on the show... i heard it was really awesome, through the grapevine!

China? That's fine if you're willing to wait for a ship to deliver the mag one month later. That's really a bad idea. My printer is inexpensive relatively, I get decent service, and the shipping doesn't take too long compared to China. China was never a possibility.

The blurred out stuff is top secret projects.

thanks for the reply :)

Also, if you print in Canada there is a lower chance of the container ship carrying your magazine/comic/zine running into the bay bridge, causing an environmental disaster and making you feel complicit. that would be bad, you know?
