Panel Pages Project New On Kickstarter


Pencil, Ink, Scan! No more need for huge scanners or runs to Kinkos. Perfect for the modern indy comic or manga artist. Click on the images to see more!

Sometimes you're drawing a comic book. You finish the page and it looks great and now you want to scan it to color and letter it, but it's too big for the scanner, so you have to scan half, then scan the other half and put it together in Photoshop or some other program.
Or you're drawing a manga comic. Sure you can draw it on the smaller paper, but it's still too small to scan. Either way you have to run down to the local printshop and reduce the page. 
Or you're working with both mediums (like many), and some things you originate on paper and some you originate digitally. No more having to cut paper or use scrap pieces... 
That's where "Panel Pages" comes in....


Panel Pages are designed by Night Phoenix Press lead creator Nathyn Brendan Masters and measure 8 x 11.5. Large enough to draw a four to five panel comic and small enough to fit in most average scanners. The non-photo border is printed on bright white Vellum Bristol board.
Reduce the art down an inch on all sides to 7 x 10.5 and you've got the perfect size to be uploaded to Ka-Blam, ComiXpress or even Rink Printing for a standard size comic or reduce the page to your needed size for Manga or Digest sized. Just keep all the important art and lettering inside the inner panel... 
Where Will Your Money Go...?
I want to produce as high of quality paper as possible, but sale them as inexpensively as I can. I would like to sale these in packs of 21 plus two cover sheets (incase you mess up on one) and packs of 50 with 4 cover sheets and so on. But the basic pack, 21/2 sheets I want to sale for under $10.
Your money goes to buying the best paper we can and printing.  2 - ply vellum bristol board, suited for pen and pencil. Vellum is ideal for a broad range of media, including crayon and charcoal.
