To facilitate the growth of our business and reduce everyone’s frustration with turnaround times, as of now, we will be focusing on higher value comics and have removed the lower value tiers.
With the new generation of comic presser entering the UK market over the past 2 years, there are now plenty of options for those who prioritise speed and cost over experience and quality. Until now, 90% of our work has always been lower value, and with the amount of time most comics take to work on properly, our return on time invested in all comics has been extremely low.
Professionally detailed work is extremely time consuming, and although there are plenty of ways to speed things up and take short cuts, we will not take risks or put out inferior work that anyone could do themselves at home on a T-Shirt press by following simple one-size-fits-all instructions. For a comparison, it is possible to press 20-30 comics per day if we lowered our standards. Instead, in a 14–15 hour workday we typically start on 4-5 new comics per day and continue to work on them until we are satisfied they are in the best possible shape.
As much as we have enjoyed helping many people’s collections, we have reached a point where we need to value our time more and to restore some semblance of a work/life balance.
