International Dust Jackets

Post by Winji » Sat Sep 01, 2012 1:36 pm

So due to SOMEONE being too lazy *cough*Kayleen*cough* I'M the one left to make a new topic here.
Isn't this exiting?
So due to noone else, but Americans and their hat having a Staples or such it would be a good idea for people in their own countries gathering up their resources to print the dust jakcets themselves and then one person just sending them forwards.
This topic is for people to find others living in their countries and who want the jackets, but lack the means for them.
This way there is only need for one person to buy the paper (Preferably so that the others pay part of all expenses ofcourse) and print them all just to make everyones life easier.

I might be able to do Finnish dust jackets if I just find a place to print them and I'm able to get proper paper for them.
I will be informing anyone who I deem worthy for my help (AKA. Anyone living in Finland or even maybe Skandinavia depending on the posting possibilities) in here if I'm able to do so.

TL:DR
Find the book owners of your country so that one of you can print the dust jackets for everyone and then mail them to them.

I've been looking like crazy, but I haven't been able to find a place in Sweden where you can do stuff like this, so if you're able to find a place in Finland I'd be super happy if you could help print a set.

As far as I know there really isn't any of such professional places outside America, but they can apparently be printed on a normal printer and you can semi-easily also find the paper that is needed for them.

Go here to order the good quality dust jacket blanks. You should be able to print on them with any old desktop printer if you use the right settings.

Copy-shops are not limited to America. At least here in Austria there are several stores that can print things like dust jackets. Are there really no such places in Finland or Sweden? Maybe there are no large chains like in America, but there surely must be smaller stores that let you do the same?

Such smaller places ARE possible, but they would be located in Helsinki most likely and I for example dont have a way to get there.
I think there was a photo developer chain that did that earlier in the past, but they have shut down all their stores and went completely online.

Just search for "kirjapaino" and you'll get a ton of options. For fewer options add your city after it. Then just ask them if they were willing to print only dust jackets. I haven't actually contacted any of them yet but I would think at least one of all those printing companies would be willing to do it. (Englanniksi koska internet.)

That's just it. You are searching for bookprints. They do not play around with such small amounts that we require.
Plus the only press here is one that makes local newspaper and some comics and magazines.
All I managed to find are places that do selfpublishing prints...
