What is their minimum, 1,000? 2,500? Can you share any other manufacturers' MOQs?
It is 2500 for USPCC. WJPC - It is 500 while Legends has 1000 as the minimum. I reckon Cartamundi used to have 1000, not sure now.

Re: Why no one is printing KS decks via USPCC or Cartamundi these days?

Thanks everyone. Interesting to see this happening. WJPC and other PRC printers used to be frowned upon earlier, and now, they have gained acceptance, it seems.

Hi All, Hope you are doing great....long time.. First of all, let me give you the context. I am gearing to launch another kicksrarter project soon.

Re: The Groundskeeper by Wyrmwood (Produced by the Gentleman Wake, ill. Dan Greta)

WJPC is a risky option for printing the majority of decks there. They are more suitable for small print runs or decks priced at $10-15. In the past few months, I have tested new decks from various factories, and in my opinion, TWPC (Taiwan) is one of the best in Asia. Check out RS decks or Jetsette...

Re: Comics and Superhero movies

The Flash If Act III's VFX weren't so wildly inconsistent, I'd probably give it a 4/5. However, that coupled with a long list of nitpicks, and some real head-scratchers makes it realistically a 3.5/5 . A lot of what is shown in The Orb is purely stupid nostalgia-bait (apparently selected at random,...

It makes sense, because these print finishers can easily do what playing card factories do, but the rever...
