Your quantity and budget determine the method:

  • Offset printing: Cost-efficient for runs of 500+. Consistent color across the entire run.
  • Digital printing: Best for shorter runs, prototypes, and quick-turn projects.

Book Printing FAQ

Quick answers to common book printing questions

Print-ready PDF is preferred. We accept files from InDesign, Illustrator, Canva, and other design tools — we convert and check them before production.

Production takes 10–15 business days after proof approval for most book orders. Shipping adds 3–40 days depending on method. Rush options available.

Yes. Include your ISBN in your artwork or send us the number and we'll place it according to specifications.

We use CTP workflow for faster setup and more accurate plate imaging. This translates to cleaner output and shorter make-ready time.

Offset becomes cost-effective around 500 copies, but we can quote for any quantity. For runs under 300, digital printing is typically more economical.
