Help with printing a custom Genesis manual

Hello all! I have been making custom manuals for my reproductions and incomplete games (I'm OCD like that), but I'm having trouble finding a printer that will accommodate a small run. I publish a comic book series, and KA-BLAM Printing does single made to order issues, but they can't/won't print the smaller 3.75x6.5 Genesis manual size.

Can anyone recommend a good printer who can do manuals made to order?

Cheers!

Is that manual even going to be marked with any kind of mark to identify it as a reproduction manual? Or is artwork different from original?

If you died or had games stolen you'd be passing on a problem to collectors.

Because people have OCD and Too OCD to mark things with repro we now have counterfeits in our hobby.

And the manual you want to repro is no other then Musha.

Actually the cover of the manual is totally different. He's used the original grid lines featured on the early SEGA Genesis boxart and manuals. Unfortunately I don't have the actual games in front of me at the moment but I believe he has left the english text of that appears in the original Genesis instruction manual and replaced the black and white images with colorful ones appearing in the japanese manual.

It's TOTALLY different...even down to replacing the shoddy wording and grammar from the original. (for example - archaic terms like "EXTRA MEN") I wouldn't do exact replicas of games that are THAT collectible (or any games for that matter).

Anyway...PRINTING! ;)

No, there are conterfeits because people are dishonest and want to cash in, OCD has nothing to do with it, that and deception are two different things.

No. He doesn't have to attempt to deceive. If you cloned 100% repros if he died or had them stolen or many different ways can bring them into circulation beside deceit.

I had games stolen before. Had any of them been unmarked repros they would be floating around unnoticed. Specially if they are only like sub $50 dollar games then no one is ever taking the cart apart to look at the board.

Repros are never 100% perfect... Unless you use offset print for yours??

nobody buy any repros incase you die!!!!!
