Local Printing Services
We love local print shops! In our experience, local shops have the best customer service. They can usually help you make sure your files are set up correctly and can provide many custom options. Use them as your resources allow.
We are looking to grow our local printing resource list. Please contact us and tell us about who you use and where you are!
NEW YORK - HUDSON VALLEY REGION
Copy Hut (Kingston and Catskill, NY) : This is our go-to local shop. The owner is currently taking all calls directly and is printing daily, with pickup or shipping available.
Email : order@thecopyhut.com | Phone : 845.339.2336
Digital Remote Printing
We haven’t tried out these sites yet for zine printing, so look around to see which might be best for your vision. Pay attention to file requirements, and use the downloadable print templates.
Mixam zine printing : This looks promising. There is an easy automatic quote generator, affordable pricing, and quick shipping. They will also send you a sample pack if you want to feel the options.
Printing Center USA : Zine-specific quotes and many customizations available
Staples Booklets : The online interface is a little clunky, but it’s very affordable.
Vista Print Booklets : A more expensive option, but with a ton of printing formats
Risograph Printing
Riso is like an 80s mashup of Xerox and screen printing, great for graphic imagery and saturated colors. Want to give your zine a little extra something? Here are some of our favorite presses!
Raghaus Studios : Small print shop focused on Riso and Letterpress, based in Newburgh, NY
Oddities Prints : A shop owned by friends in Kansas City, Riso prices range from $0.15 to $2.45 per printed sheet
