NIB & INK FESTIVAL 2025
May 1st – May 31st, 2025
Welcome to the inaugural Nib and Ink Fest! We have a ton of incredible events planned for the month of May, ranging from panels on how to improve your comics craft to portfolio reviews! All streamed events are digitally broadcast live via Zoom. The Zoom rooms are moderated and free to join for EVERYONE, so hop on in to watch and interact with the panelists and your fellow viewers! If you’re unable to join via Zoom, we also have stream mirrors set up on our YouTube.
Instead of registering for events, each event’s Zoom link will open up to the public a few minutes before start time, so be sure to check each event on its date to attend!
How to Print a Comic: A Prepress Panel
May 10 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT
What’s the right choice for binding your comic? What kinds of special effects do you want on the covers? What even is a DPI? This panel seeks to answer some of those questions and more. Book designers and pre-press workers Carina Taylor and Hye Mardikian will speak to moderator Joan Zahra Dark about what you might want to look for when printing your comic, or if you’re working with a publisher.
