Traditional/advanced minting
Traditional minting is minting with a transaction – you pay gas fees to mint your token.
Printable series allows you to create as many tokens as you want with one transaction and mints the token only when the item is sold.
Batch minting allows you to create and mint many tokens in one transaction.
