Tips on Book Printing

Book printing does not only imply putting ink on paper. Printing involves a number of elements that influence the general look of the book. Therefore, you should approach all the locations of book printing cautiously. Right here are a few tips you should consider while preparing to print your book:

1. Size of the book: It is important to first determine on the size of your book. Different sizes are available for various purposes. For example, there are handbooks, manuals and mass markets. Choose the size that will enhance the look and general appeal of your book.

2. Technique of printing: There are primarily three types of book printing: web press, lithography printing and digital printing.

Web Press printing is for a large printing run and in the range of ten,000 or a greater usually.

Lithography printing (offset printing - or sheet fed) is generally used with book runs in the range of 500 to ten,000 runs. Digital book printing is used for book runs in the range 1 to 500 books. Although the unit price is higher than lithograph printing, the general cost is less when a smaller sized quantity run is used in "Testing-The-Market."

3. Print on Demand: Print on Demand (POD) means that more copies of the book can be printed only when they are ordered by customers. This saves time, money and paper.

4. Formatting: Formatting is an important factor, which makes your book attractive and effective. Strange spaces, inappropriate fonts and incorrect margins can give your book a clumsy look. Make certain that your printer offers correct formatting to your book.
