It's cheap, but is it any good?

Does anyone know if there are any commercially available 15mm card corridor systems out there, something similar to the print yourself ones you can buy/download?

Or does anyone offer a service to print and build these?

I was planning to print out what I need myself, but was wondering if it was cheaper and quicker to get something pre-printed. Colour ink for my printer is fairly expensive and most of the ink would probably end up drying out.

The only stuff I know of is fantasy based (world works terraclips)

Reviresco had a set of .pdf corridors on their web site some time ago. I haven't seen it on line for a while, but you could drop John an email and see if he can supply them – he does both printed and DIY for most of his stuff.

The cost of ink is the real drawback to the print-and-build DIY terrain for sure. But I've had very good results from a color laser printer, which is far more cost effective.The unit cost me $200 USD on sale, and for the same cost you get about three to five times the print duration on average. In my experience, a set of toner cartridges cost somewhere about $280 USD for all four, but you get around 300 to 500 full color sheets out of it, where with a set of inkjet cartridges I rarely got more than 50 sheets at best, and for a full reload cost of $120. USD. That's 50¢ a page or less as against $2 USD a page or more plus losses due to smudging, smearing, etc.

Worldworks Games' "Titan" series is my go-to for sci fi interiors. Streets of Titan makes good Blade Runner-esque street terrain.

Only Warlock – I did see that on their site. Looked interesting but scaled for 28mm and as you say, fantasy based.

Mr Average – That would be ideal but would blow my gaming budget to pieces!

Get them printed at the local copier place, when they have a sale.
