Thanks :) 110lbs cardstock cover, full color laser print interior and saddle stitched. I have an industrial guillotine that can cut a ream of paper like butter. So sizing zines and cutting the creep off the edge is a cinch.
Even though it was designed for A5, you left enough of a margin so that I could print it 8.5x11 (5.5x8.5 folded). So thanks for keeping your margins generous. My only recommendation is that you also do that for the text on the cover (the white text goes almost to the edge and could use more space there for us USA folks).
Ok, i guess I am learning something here. I tried to find out how heavy the pages are that you have printed. When I am ordering paper or let a zine print online, they tell me the weight of the paper used in (g) per sheet. i.e. I can buy thick watercolor paper with 300g or let a zine print with paper weight 90g. This means that we have the information of the weight and therefore the thickness (assuming you have a given size) of one sheet of paper. How does this work with lbs or what is the reference 110lbs referring to and how can I convert this to international standards? Interesting... :)
I'm not sure what is meant by (g). If it is grammage, gsm, or g/m2, then 110lbs cardstock is between 270-308gsm. Paper weights are confusing because there are different categories such as "text" and "cover/card". For example, an 8.5x11 inch sheet of 100lbs "text" weighs less than 100lbs "card" because text weight is measured with a stack of paper that has a larger dimension than that of the stack of cardstock.
But you don't have to use the same paper weight as I do. Just find some nice thick cardstock you think will do nicely as a cover that can be run through a laser printer.
Also, if you find that you enjoy making zines, I recommend having these:
