Ka-Blam is a print-on-demand service for comics books and the like. I first mentioned them here. I learned recently that they no longer change any set-up fees. For Ka-Blam, the removal of the set-up fee means each new project is now $20.00 cheaper. It also means that my notes regarding Cafe Press, comiXpress, Lulu.com, and Ka-Blam need to be updated. Looks like Ka-Blam is the cheapest producer for both large and small print runs of full color comics now.
Here's that revised table.
| Service | Set-up | Cover | Inside | Pages | Printing | 1 book | 100 books |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cafe Press | $4.00 | Color | B&W | 32 | $1.44 | $5.44 | $148.00 |
| comiXpress | $15.59 | Color | B&W | 32 | $1.40 | $16.99 | $155.59 |
| comiXpress | $15.59 | Color | Color | 32 | $4.35 | $19.94 | $450.59 |
| Lulu.com | $3.20 | Color | B&W | 32 | $3.52 | $6.72 | $355.20 |
| Lulu.com | $3.20 | Color | Color | 32 | $4.80 | $8.00 | $483.20 |
| Ka-blam | $0.00 | Color | B&W | 32 | $1.64 | $1.64 | $164.00 |
| Ka-blam | $0.00 | Color | Color | 32 | $2.89 | $2.89 | $289.00 |
