Your setup fee will be calculated based upon the specifics of your book and includes 1 proof copy. This charge is for the work involved in getting your files ready to print. If the files need corrections you will be given the option of correcting the files yourself or, if it is something we can do on our end, having us do it for you for an additional fee. We will always contact the customer first with an estimate regarding any additional work before proceeding.

In most cases your proof should be ready to mail out no later than 1 week after getting your files to us. If you find there are corrections that need to be made after reviewing your proof, the setup fee also includes 1 round of corrections at no charge.

Note: The setup fee applies to ALL BOOKS the first time they are printed, but not on re-orders

We highly recommend you order a proof copy to start. This way you can have 1 finished book in hand faster to review for any corrections or changes before ordering in quantity. Once your proof has been approved by you, a re-order can be placed that will ship within 10 business days of our receiving payment for the order. Of course, while we encourage you to receive a proof first, you are welcome to dive in and place your first order.

Proof Copy
I understand that by requesting a proof, 1 copy of my book will ship prior to any additional quantities I may order. I also understand that additional quantities will not be printed until I 'OK' the proof.

ComixPress is dedicated not only to providing affordable print on demand comic books to creators, but also to selling them for the creators as well. ComixPress ads featured in any comic serve to show readers where they can purchase these comics online, and serve to increase sales potential for every comic sold through ComixPress’ online store. For this reason we offer discounts to printing comics that feature Comixpress ads and all pricing is based upon different tiers of ad placement:
