Large scale print runs... What are the advantages?

[Matt Wilson]

I paid a lot of attention around here when I was in the process of publishing Primetime Adventures.

I'll tell you this much: my printing costs per book were really a good deal, and I didn't do a Sorcerer's Soul-size run. I went with a digital offset printer, ExpressMedia, who I believe a few other folks here have had good experiences with. It ended up being a far better deal than Lulu, and it's what I'll do with my next game (knock on wood).

When you're dealing with digital, as far as I've learned, there's not huge price points, so if you're strapped for cash, you won't feel like you're shooting yourself in the foot if you only do 100 instead of 200 or 500. I saved maybe $0.10 per book by printing 200.

I fear I haven't had a good experience with Express Media - hopefully I'm near the end of having a bad experience with them.
