There's good news and...good news.
I got the printed copy of the new issue of BY THE GODS! number 4 right on time. The other good news is I like the Perfect Binding format. The paper quality is basically identical to the Saddle Stitch Binding format. Pages are thick and nice to the touch. So I won't be making any changes to it. I've already started seeing mistakes and I'll be correcting them during the weekend.
I don't know if future issues will be Perfect Binding. I like this format but I've noticed that it prints much darker (see photo below). The colours with Saddle Stitch are more accurate. The red with Saddle Stitch is the red I want while the red with the Perfect Binding is much darker and not as accurate. You can see how the first issue compares with the new issue. It's not a big deal but I wonder why it's like this. I didn't change the red on the cover. Some of the photos inside are much darker than usual. And the page layout was fine with Saddle Stitch suddenly becomes slightly problematic. Nothing major but stuff I need to correct with Perfect Binding I didn't have to correct with Saddle Stitch. But even with all of this, I have to say that Perfect Binding makes it looks more like a genuine magazine.
