HeroHammer Fanzine Printing Guide

This document provides printing instructions for a fanzine called the HeroHammer Fanzine. It recommends using glossy paper between 90-115 gsm for the interior pages and 200-250 gsm glossy paper for the covers. It describes two versions - a full cover version where the cover and interior pages are printed separately and attached, and a spine version where the spine is printed separately to be attached. It also mentions using print on demand services and discusses whether to include bleed or not in the documents.
