Overview
Anime conventions are vibrant visual feasts, and your table needs to stand out to capture attention in the Artist Alley. We understand the specific and high-stakes needs of anime artists: brilliant color accuracy for art prints, precise saddle stitching and perfect binding for doujinshi and manga, and incredibly fast turnarounds for that inevitable last-minute con crunch. Whether you're selling out of inventory at Anime Expo, debuting a new zine at Otakon, or setting up at a local weekend show, our specialty finishes (like soft-touch lamination) and domestic printing facility ensure you always have premium stock on hand.

The Ultimate Sizing Guide
Not sure what sizes to order for your booth? Here is what successful table vendors stock. ‡
Art Prints & Posters
4"x6" & 5"x7"
Extremely popular sizes for affordable bundle deals (e.g. 3 for $10). Mini prints are giftable, highly collectable, and don't require the customer to carry a large poster tube, increasing conversion rates fast.
8.5"x11" & 8"x10"
The classic letter-size bracket. These feel much more substantial than mini prints but remain highly affordable. 8x10 is especially popular because it fits readily available, cheap frames.
11"x17"
The undisputed industry standard poster size for Anime and Comic conventions. Fits perfectly in standard vendor display portfolios and commands a higher price point while still being manageable.
12"x18"
For your absolute best artwork that demands attention. Hang these high on your wire grids as anchor pieces to draw attendees in from across the hall. Standard commercial 12x18 size allows for flawless bleed edges.
Books & Doujinshi
B/W Doujinshi
Authentic, high-volume black and white doujinshi printing. We use advanced commercial halftone screening to ensure your screentones, gradients, and inking map perfectly to paper without moiré patterns.
Color Doujinshi
Premium, vibrant full-color doujinshi and artbook printing. Ideal for convention artists looking to showcase digital illustrations, photography, or colorful graphics with stunning accuracy.
Western Comic
Perfect for shorter-run zines, floppy comics, and fanzines. Featuring full color interiors and beautiful saddle-stitch binding for that classic comic book feel that easily lays flat.
Standard Manga
Industry standard paperback styling. For any story over 40 pages, or if you want a professional spine to display on a shelf at an Artist Alley table, perfect binding is the superior choice for your graphic novel.
** Book pricing examples are dynamically calculated for Full-Color Covers on premium 100# Silk Cover stock. Interior pages are 60# Uncoated Text. Rates fluctuate based on paper selection, page count, and material availability.

Why Print With MCE for Anime Convention Printing Services?
Professional, convention-ready printing tailored for the demands of the artist alley.
100% In-House & Private
Unlike other print shops where production is outsourced, we do everything in-house. Only our team (the exact same demographic buying your products!) will ever be working on your files. Completely streamlined and secure.
Specialty Offerings
Large commercial printers will often completely reject complex finishes or outsource them. We produce custom foiling, soft touch lamination, and unique bundling directly under one roof.
Japanese Print Technology
We utilize over 12 different swappable screens in our state-of-the-art Japanese production presses, bringing you the absolute best premium halftones, flawless edges, and solid colors without the need for massive minimum runs.
Domestic & Uncensored
Because our facility is domestically operated here in the U.S., there is absolutely zero need for censorship. We proudly support independent artists creating whatever art they want.
What Creators Say
Join thousands of artists trusting us with their table inventory.
"VERY satisfied with this company, for several reasons listed below: Excellent customer service- they responded quickly to my messages and offered good solutions for potential concerns. Good attention to detail- They noticed one file was a slightly different black than the rest, and informed me so I could fix it before it went to print. Very quick turnaround- I don't know if this is their regular schedule, but I was able to get 80 books delivered to me only a week after I uploaded the files! I would definitely recommend MCE for doujinshi/indie book printing! :)"
"Amazing quality, really impressed with the turn around time! I start using MCE as my main book printer and I will definitely recommend to my artist friends!"
"Turnaround time was fast! Interior pages are crisp. Looking forward to trying uncoated paper for interior pages next. Also excited for future new cover stock options for saddlestitch :D"
