Friday, April 23, 2010 at 11:32AM Transcontinental is going to become the official offset printer of Webcomics.com, offering all members a 10% discount on printing.
Since Transcontinental is an offset printer -- not print-on-demand -- the print runs are counted by the hundreds. This discount is going to return the price of an annual subscription several times over.
This is going to be a huge benefit to our members who are already established webcartoonists, handling book printing in bulk orders.

Transcontinental is a leader is the printing of high-quality graphic novels and other comics-formatted publications, and Webcomics.com is thrilled to be working with them in this capacity.
