Introduction

Mixam has partnered with the popular crowdfunding platform Indiegogo to help creators boost their campaigns with our print-on-demand service, PrintLink. Campaigners can create comic books, graphic novels, and manga and receive an exclusive offer on their first order.

Why have Mixam and Indiegogo partnered?

This partnership combines Mixam’s printing expertise with Indiegogo’s commitment to turning ideas into a tangible reality. With a range of custom print options, creatives, self-publishers and businesses can monetize their campaigns with minimal effort and deliver impactful products that strengthen backer-creator relationships. Additionally, backers can continue supporting campaigns by purchasing prints long after the initial funding phase ends, helping to extend a project’s visibility and engagement. 

Creating Custom Prints with POD

Print-on-demand (POD) eliminates the need for upfront costs, bulk ordering, or inventory management by printing products only as orders come in. For those using third-party design tools, Mixam offers free, downloadable templates tailored to the chosen specifications through the Instant Quote Calculator. Creators can also use Mixam’s Design Online tool, which features pre-made layouts, typefaces, and graphics to make print-ready file creation simple and accessible.

How To Get Started 

You need to have an Indiegogo account before using Mixam’s print-on-demand service. 

1. Open a Mixam account and visit Mixam’s Indiegogo page to choose your specifications for a free quote. 
2. Click ‘Add to Cart’ to start a pending order and add your exclusive offer to the ‘Discount Code’ field. You can either upload files you’ve made yourself or use Mixam’s free Design Online tool to create print-ready files. 
3. Once you've uploaded all artwork files, check your downloadable proof, preview, and thumbnails thoroughly to ensure your design is error-free and pages appear in the correct order.
4. Fill in your publication and pricing details in the PrintLink tab.
5. Confirm your order and a Mixam print expert will review and approve it for production, providing there are no outstanding print issues. 
6. Once your project is approved, you’ll receive an email (please check your Junk folder) inviting you to view your PrintLink publication on Mixam’s website. Every PrintLink project will have a unique shareable link, which you can post on your Indiegogo campaign page, social media, website, newsletter and more.
7. Finally, you can invite backers to order copies through Mixam securely.
