The hq mag


Recommended Posts

I seriously think that Lee should make an HQ magazine. If you think about it theres like at least 2,000 hq members, say you charge $4 a mag (about what dirtwheels does) plus the stuff you could advertise in there thats around $10,000. Cause seriously i'm getting sick of Dirtwheels and their pretty much anti-banshee campaign. So i back Lee 100% if he decides to do it. lets hear what everyone else has to say about an HQ all banshee magazine. :cheers:

there arent really that many members. and magazines are expensive to make. they make all their money on advertising, not subscriptions. youd need to find a printer, distributer, writers, graphic designers/page layout people (thats an easy one), plus the subcription base to make it work.

I work for ColorDynamics one of the leading print company's in the South.. All I can say is that it's damn expensive. Say you want to print a job on my press (which is where a magazine would be printed) it cost $500 an hour just to buy press time, that's not paper cost, ink cost, plating or even my salary plus my crew..

A 96 page magazine would break down into 6 forms on my press, We would run it prob. at 21000 impressions an hour. 6 forms means we stop and change the plates 6 times. Most mag jobs are 4/color process inks that's 16 plates per form...

Oh and don't forget the bindery cost.....

 

To make it worth wild you really need to be printing like 100000 copies or the cost is just way to much...

 

If ya'll really need a banshee magazine just start printing the pages of the HQ with your PC's get some really big staples and WOLA!!!
