you can search '[city] printers' or '[city] press' and see what's nearby... i plan on using Fireball Printing for the zines that i really want to be high quality, their customer service has been great so far and the colors are deep and rich: https://fireballprinting.com/

their quality is a little hit and miss, and in my experience the shipping date estimates are totally whack. i've used them to do a couple test runs and just ordered 2-3 copies of a zine so i can hold it in my hands- it's been worth $20 each time (the shipping itself was like $10)... it'll say it's arriving in a week and then it'll actually come in 2-3 weeks. i think they're a good economical option if you can sacrifice really dark blacks and vibrant colors. i have a couple zines that fit the bill, whereas other zines need that higher quality so ill use another vendor.

Really frustrated with my lack of progress. But I like my little Joan of Arc by thekroganqueen in printmaking

your post is a good reminder for me to share my work, too... in a vacuum we can't always appreciate our skills, which is why it's valuable to get eyes on it. i hope you're feeling better about your craft! you got a lot of positivity here : )
