What we’re about
Wasted Ink is a zine hub located in Phoenix, Arizona that includes a store front, print studio, zine library, and multiple workshop spaces. We house hundreds of zines and serve as a home base for Arizona zinesters looking for a DIY hub and creative space for self-publishing and zines.
A zine you say? What is a zine?
"A zine - pronounced zeen - derived from magazine - is an independently- or self-published booklet, often created by a single person. Zines are customarily created by physically cutting and gluing text and images together onto a master flat for photocopying, but it is also common to produce the master by typing and formatting pages on a computer. The end product is usually folded and stapled. Zines can be printed and bound in any manner. Offset printing is a relatively common alternative to photocopying, though there is some controversy among zine writers as to whether professionally printed products may be defined as zines."
