Digital or offset? Smooth or glossy? Coated or uncoated? Foreign or domestic? Black and white, two color, or full color? There are a LOT of choices and not a lot of room for mistakes when it comes to printing decisions. (Seriously, though, if you’ve ever seen a pallet of books come in chock-a-block with splotches, overprints, and fading, you’ll never take a good print job for granted again.)

Jessica Clark, who plays printing on hard mode with comics and graphic novels, gives us a peek into her world and a little background on how she arrived there. Plus we talk paper tariffs and read a few of the many Amazon reviews for a book that pretty much nobody has read, but happens to be plastered all over the news right now.

In this episode:

• The worst $1,849.99 you could ever spend
• Maybe the only somewhat fun tangent we can take on the subject
• Ouchtown, Population: Mark Judge
• Buying Canadian paper is safe…for now…

Some (available) books mentioned in this episode:

• “Human beings were never born to read.” **GASP**
• Magical tales of foggy London town
• The book that Corinne better be reading, too.
• An addiction memoir for shame and schadenfreude
• Aw hell, why not kick ass in a bikini?
