Make Photocopies of your Zine

 

 

 

Photocopying Your Analog Zine

Your analog zine can be photocopied and shared with others.  There is a bit of a learning curve to the process at the photocopier, so if you can't figure out how to photocopy your zine and preserve the booklet format, just get in touch. In general, you need to create double-sided pages, which are then folded together. You can use the long-arm stapler, tape, or sew, but most people staple. You can also leave your zine unbound, but the pages might fall apart, and the reader won't know how to put it back together. We recommend the staple! Get in touch with Susan or Abby for help with the photocopier--we have credit and you won't need to pay! sthomas7@pace.edu or aschleifer@pace.edu
