Production only: tabloid, full colour, newsprint, printed digitally under 500 copies and on press from 500 up, at cost, delivered in the US. Runs above 2,000 copies move to a US web press at roughly $0.25 to $0.50 a copy and are quoted per job. Any page count in multiples of four is possible, from 4 to 64; more or fewer pages are priced the same way. Creative direction, distribution and events are quoted separately. In the 50/50 model Wide Open pays for the print and net sales are split in half; the artist pays nothing up front. All base numbers, they move with the project.
