Welcome to our Zine Studio Blog.  

How does it work?

We are very excited to open our latest creative space at Rapid Eye.  We have witnessed the growing interest in Zine making and with requests from our clients we offer you our very own DIY Zine making Studio.  We use a Laser printer Ricoh C3500 and currently offer A5 A4 andA3 smooth white paper  stock at 120gsm.  This is our starting set up and with your help we will be adding more papers and techniques as we go! 

Below is your 6 steps to make your Zine:

1  Make your eZine.  We promote Shrimp Zine but you can make your Zine in any software.  If you have been to one of our evening workshops at Photobook Cafe you would have been shown how to use Shrimp Zine SHRIMP ZINE which is a great website to make simple but very effective Zines using your phone or tablet.  

You can see our video explaining how to use the Shrimp Zine website here.  Take a look. Shrimp Zine with Felix

2  Book the Zine Printing Studio on our website.  Use the code: "FIRSTZINE" to get your first time rental for Free!  Book Here!

3 Get your zine ready. Use the iMac to format and print your Zine. Format your Zine - you can of course format your Zine at home.      

4 Time to make your physical Zine! Use the studio space to print, organise, fold and staple your Zine.  Space!

What to expect: raw, handmade look. Laser printing isn't always perfect – think slight imperfections /  unevenness. 

5 Pay for your prints at the front desk. Check our price list for  Zines or Single Pages

6 ENJOY your Zine!

This is a NEW studio.  If you have any suggestions let us know.  We want your ideas!  Please leave your comments below.
