I would pay the bill and start over with 2400 dpi scans. I guess Dave could sign them and sell them as some sort of novelty to at least generate more cash flow, but my understanding was that he wanted a complete restoration to the best version possible so he would be done with it once and for all and have the FINAL version to be used in all future printings.<br /><br />Now that I think about it... I guess it could be used in future Kickstare campaigns. A unique unbound phone book signed by Dave. I think I might pass on that one.Birdsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829558355806670311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-58068391644204687482014-06-05T17:40:36.258-05:002014-06-05T17:40:36.258-05:00It's been fascinating reading all the printing...It's been fascinating reading all the printing posts, a subject that previously held little interest.

But seeing that most of these printing problems won't be encumbrances to the average reader, and seeing this in the context of your larger business and the other books being unsellable without the first being available... then I'd say selling it seems more reasonable. It's in this context that it makes sense.<br /><br />If this were the first time the material were appearing, and possibly the last, I'd say take it on the chin and head back into another round. But that's not the context we're in here.<br /><br />Just wanted to be clear where my endorsement here is coming from.Sean Michael Robinsonhttp://livingtheline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-56194512613244208872014-06-05T03:51:24.900-05:002014-06-05T03:51:24.900-05:00Looks like someone's waxing up a crop of denta...Looks like someone's waxing up a crop of dental floss in Sean's landscape. Yippee-ai-yo-ti-yay! ;)<br /><br />In more serious mode, this sounds like good news, if Dave does decide to go ahead with a new printing of v.1 from here. With that in print and the IDW High Society DVD set, people will be able to get the entirety of the series (well, <i>sans</i> the Zero issue stuff...), maybe even by the end of the year. <br /><br />That's the kind of good news that makes me want to throw a baby! ;)Travis Pelkienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-10296397400537549212014-06-05T03:49:57.947-05:002014-06-05T03:49:57.947-05:00Dave,

My advice is the same then as it is now; accept the flaws, move forward. I say this without any knowledge of printing or any special perspective on business or publishing. In my own personally ignorant position as a fan, I think that this problem is killing your business and eating up an absolutely gross amount of time that could be more constructively spent. Sell the book as is.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04045561259667835648noreply@blogger.com
