What are your experiences with Digital Printing services, either online or those offered by stores such as Kinkos, Office Depot, etc. ? Is the quality of prints good enough for publishing ?
I am hoping to use letter-sized 2-ply chipboard for my game tiles, print out back & front paper at my local Kinko's color laser, then use spray adhesive to stick them on before taking the sheets to a printer for cutting out all the 1"x1" tiles. What about paper type and printing quality ? Do they have good quality printers at Kinko's ? What's a good paper to use for glueing onto the board ? I want to do a small test run of 100-300 units to see if there is enough interest in my game, so obviously offset printing is out of the question.
Also for fellow designers looking for board material: my prototypes were done with "Bainbridge 2000", which is a 2-ply chipboard with a bright white finish on one side. 3' x 4' sheet costs ca. $8 at Aaron Bros. stores. Good stuff..
