Questions
Can I sell a pattern of a famous character?
No. Characters are owned by someone. Create your own designs or use generic themes.
Can I include charts?
Charts as images inside the text are not supported yet. Tables, lists and numbered rounds in your text are laid out, and the finished-piece photo goes on the cover.
Can buyers print it?
Yes. The A5 PDF prints well, even two pages per sheet.
