Hi everyone! I'm in the process of making a tarot deck (I'll post more about it soon!) and I'm researching the best way to print it for sale.
I do want to publish it independently, but I'd like to avoid print-on-demand if possible, because I'm in the UK and I suspect a lot of potential buyers will be in the US. I can't print there because I'm a US citizen (I'd lose everything from being double-taxed if I did that, though I think it would be safe for me to make an order from a US printer), but if I print-on-demand in the UK, the shipping cost would be astronomical for anyone buying outside the UK. Having such prohibitively high costs would sort of defeat the point of my deck, which is to be accessible, especially for new readers.
I'd like to keep the deck affordable. So does anyone have suggestions for printing companies that are a good mix of quality and affordability, either in the UK, or I've heard of some people printing in China?
