Make Your ‘Zines Glossy, Expensive…
Ever wanted to make your very own magazine? Hate copy machines and staplers. HP’s got you covered for $.20 a page, paid per magazine at the time of order. So, a six dollar, 30 page magazine. Yeah, better hope you have advertisers…
With a new Web service called MagCloud, Hewlett-Packard hopes to make it easier and cheaper to crank out a magazine than running photocopies at the local copy shop.
Charging
20 cents a page, paid only when a customer orders a copy, H.P. dreams
of turning MagCloud into vanity publishing’s equivalent of YouTube.
The company, a leading maker of computers and printers, envisions
people using their PCs to develop quick magazines commemorating their
daughter’s volleyball season or chronicling the intricacies of the
Arizona cactus business.
Still, this may be the way to go if you want to do your all naked girl and BMX parts magazine. Or is that only me? Never mind.
