I have encountered many of the same experiences with printing and ordering things online, but haven't worked with Ka-blam, so it's good to get this detailed walk through! I wanted to be sure I understood- the books are 56 pages long at $7.00 a piece? That's a really good price. The shipping thing is SCARY. Yikes. When you consider that collectors won't look at something with damaged corners... Great review!! ~B Excellent information, Kez.

I just started working with Ka-Blam to print my stuff as well. While my experience was a little less stressful (I have a good amount of experience in printing and graphic design for print), there was a learning curve involved with their ordering process. And I had the same "too dark" issue when I received my first proof (HAD to budget in time for that). Ended up going back and making all the pages about 15 percent lighter. But generally, I'm happy with the results, and hopefully Comic-Con folk will be too. Good luck! Thanks for sharing. I just started working with Ka-Blam to print my stuff as well.
