Damn, Japan got good stuff again. The 7-11 at my place will never have this thing.

I wish the 7-Elevens of the U.S. had copy machines... It would be a wonderful sight seeing doujinshi being printed by many folks visiting the convenience store for both a quick bite and a fan-made postcard.

7-Eleven is not a convenience store for nothing.
If only 7-Elevens in the Philippines also had those copy machines. . . . . |

I paid out the butt to have my doujinshi paginated, so it'd be nice to have a convenient option. Something tells me it's not going to be THAT much cheaper, and it might be worth still going to a print shop if you're selling at a big convention, since you can expect a ton of artists to congregate at the convenience stores if their machines are that much cheaper or greater. When printing my doujinshi, I went the easy route and just made a 16-page work with a triple staple bind. Since I didn't have any page spreads, it was perfectly fine as it was. I wonder what options are given on this machine. If I was still in Japan, I'd probably try it out.
Can I say, though... People have been printing doujinshi at convenience stores for decades, and the only major setback was the manual labor that went into putting everything together, which often had to be done by hand, but was the cheapest option by far and very popular simply because it is convenient. IT'S ABOUT FRIGGING TIME THIS HAPPENED!! =P |

This printing is being done on copy machines, not actual printers. I guess that most doujinshi is still drawn on paper, and anybody who does it on a computer has a printer to make a paper copy. These copiers are used for mass production, relatively speaking. I seldom use convenience stores so I do not know if it is as common for them to have copiers here in the US as it is in Japan. |

Yeah, that was one of the concerns that came to mind. Assuming each 7-Eleven will only have one copy machine, and they are for the purpose of mass-producing doujinshi, or at least producing enough copies to sell, that means each person has to be at the machine for a while. I've worked in office environments with less than 10 people where lines develop for the copy machine. This could create big problems if planned poorly. Well, unless 7-Elevens areas ubiquitous in Japan as they are here. |

I have never been to Japan but everything that I have read and seen indicates that the problems that you talk about have already existed for years with the copy machines that are currently in convenience stores. All that the new machines will do is make it easier for people to produce a finished book that is ready for sale. I really do not see any negative aspect to this. |

If they did have this in our 7-11 stores, I wonder how the already situational fair use defense would apply to this. If I was to make a Mickey Mouse picture then Disney's lawyers threatened to sue me, my rebuttal would be that your this company's empire was built on derivative works.
