Print on Demand services
Option 1: Print on Demand
Mixam - Has a print on demand service called Print Link (available in the US and UK). Unfortunately, this service does not allow for integrations to feed into it.
Mixam does have one-off printing, but you have to input each address manually as a new order.
Mixam has no ShipStation integration. From my observations, there is also no bulk order uploading that would allow you to put in different shipping addresses as part of the same order. Very expensive per piece price.
Printful - Has a ship station integration but does not print books.
Amazon KDP - Print on demand (limited to selling through Amazon), sometimes has misprints. Publishes to Kindle as well. Limited print sizes and not very zine-y, more here.
Lulu Direct - Connects with Shopify. You can import orders into Shopify for print on demand with Lulu.
Blurb - More limited conventional book sizes (8x10, 12x12), not our first choice.
Option 2: Print in bulk and bulk print shipping labels
Pirate Ship
Option 3: Print in bulk and use a fulfillment service Amplifier - Fulfillment based in Austin, TX. Breezer Printing - Fulfillment based in Brooklyn.
