When making your zines, consider these best practices:
- Most printers are unable to print near the edge of the paper. Include margins in your design, whether digitally or hand-made, to prevent your work being cut off.
- Avoid using pencils and color pencils. When scanned/ reproduced, their low contrast may lead to details being lost.
- If you must use color pencils, try to use darker colors, press down harder when using them, or go over a mark multiple times
- Scan and save your finished zine. If you only have one copy, you leave yourself liable to lose it.
