magazine printers

i'm thinking of getting a short run of magazines printed. does annyone know the going rate for this? as i am having trouble getting any kind of rough quote on it. It'd be in two colours and i'd only need about 200 copies?

has anyone printed a mag before?

I know nothing about printing, so apologies for off-topic. But i'm intrigued - what type of magazine

i've been encouraging people to do some designs either entirely in red or entirely in blue, and i want to publish them in a mag, opposing each other. the idea came up cos in liverpool everyones a blue or a red and i wanted to see what imagery people used to represent the different colours

i've been doing a zine ( http://pragmate.avant-avant.net ) for the past few years and although i haven,t used the conventional printing presses i can assure you it can be either difficult or costly to print out only 200 copies.

i've been very DIY to save on costs.

i just might be kitch but have you thought of screenprinting? then again it would depend the type of magazine your doing. personnaly i think i'll be doing the next issue of my zine on a big screen printed poster.

then again i have no taste. or arms.

hmmm...

i like the idea of doing it as a poster



i'm sure that would be a hell of a lot cheaper than doin some mags, and it could look pretty cool as well.

shall have a ponder on that one i think

not sure if that was what you meant but cheers for the inspiration anyway!

ahhh... will do, that sounds like a good idea. i was toying with the idea of getting vinyl prints of some of the designs and transferring them on to paper but that'd only work for the vector images.

shall def investigate posters and a1 stuff
