Comic Book Paper Size

[JoieSimmons]

here is my question i know the sizes and such for the paper but when sending files to certain print on demand they want the files at 6.875 x 10.5 live area being 6 x 9 my question is if i'm drawing digitally do i draw at 11 x 17 or the smaller size, or does it matter??

Draw bigger, man, always. When it's reduced, art almost always looks better.
I should start a side business of setting up comics for Print On Demand. Would that be a worthwhile thing to have out there?

How would you charge for it? And how much?

I just did my first POD book last week (64 pages! Woo-hoo, livin' large!) and had a friend set up the final deliverables, but for the most part it was just making up a PDF at the right format and resolution. I sent him each page as a Print Quality PDF, he assembled the final doc, but I could also assemble multi-page PDF files out of Bridge.

I don't know. Not too much, just enough to get something going.
But I could take the scans and finished Photoshop files and specs for whichever POD service you use and set it all up and make it work. It's pretty much what I do at my day job, so I could guarantee success.

64 pages is awesome!
