To get an estimate, you need to have the following information ready:
- page count
- size of book (a standard size for most books is 5.5 x 8.5 or 6 x 9)
- paper stock of text and cover
- is there any color in the book or on the cover?
- has the book already been prepared in InDesign or Quark or do you need us to do keyboarding/layout/design?
- what kind of binding do you require?
- how many copies?
If you’re unsure, feel free to call us for advice.
PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST GIVE US PLENTY OF TIME TO PRINT YOUR BOOKS. TURNAROUND TIME CAN TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS OR MORE. BE SURE TO GIVE US A DATE FOR WHEN YOU NEED BOOKS COMPLETED.
PRE-PRODUCTION
We provide a full-range of pre-production services to get your file ready for print. However, if you are doing the pre-production work yourself, our estimate is based on receiving a TROUBLE-FREE disc. It is important for you to take responsibility for your file and prepare it correctly. See our "Pre-Production Advice" page for tips on how to prepare your file.
