I'm asking this question everywhere. :P
I have a project. It has the potential to be totally awesome*. But first it has to get into a sellable form, and that means getting it printed.
I've been shopping around, and doing it through Kinkos or Staples is going to cost too much for me to make a profit selling it. Today, however, I found this site called docucopies that could do it, including all the binding and assembling and everything, for a workable price.
But I can't find ANY reviews of them that aren't hosted on their site. It's seriously weirding me out. This is the internet, where are the outraged customers? Everybody here knows that the most perfect business in the world still has outraged customers! It's the nature of the negative reviews, more than the lack of them, that tells me what a business is like. I've found exactly one negative mention of them so far, and that was a yaoi artist, who was pissed off that they wouldn't print her man-on-man porn. Which tells me nothing about what their service is actually like. :P
So has anybody here used them? Or even heard of them?
*It's a dragon-themed coloring book. Aimed at adults rather than children, as it has some pinup-style stuff, and generally not kiddy art style. Though some of the art is dang cute, because I'm good at cute. I'm trying to get it printed cheaply enough to sell for $5 a book, because I know people will pay that. But 50 single sided (so you can color with bleeding media, an *overwhelming* request from potential customers) 8.5X11 pages with color cover is turning out to not be cheap.
