Ye man, me and two mates printed our zine using Mixam ( shameless plug https://xrayfreeelectronlaser.bigcartel.com/product/5128)
We did a hundred copies and it seemed to be cheaper than anywhere else, plus the quality is actually really quite good!
We did same thickness throughout, stapled, and all seemed good
https://mixam.co.uk/zines this place seems decent. Not sure I'd manage to print 50 copies easily for similar/less cash. The hassle saved makes its fairly economic at least.
Double-sided photocopy is usually ~6p, so 13 sheets is 78p, and that doesn't include extra for thicker paper/card for the cover or binding, or printing the master to copy from. That place seems to offer a black and white, 52 page zine, stapled, for ~£1/copy.
Am I missing something? Also, how thick does the paper need to be to prevent the image ghosting through the page - will 150gsm be sufficient?
