Working with a print shop

• Look at examples of other work done by the print shop to be sure that the quality they produce is adequate.
• Determine the following information about the job you are submitting:
  • Number of copies to print

  • Finished size of book

    Note:

    Remember that the pages must be trimmed, making the book slightly smaller than the paper used for printing.

  • Color and kind of paper for the pages
  • Color and kind of paper for cover
  • Type of binding
• Provide the following:
  • A mock-up of the finished product
  • Good camera-ready copy, or
  • All the text and illustrations with explicit instructions for layout.
• Do not expect to make changes in content after submitting the job to the printer.
• Check with the printer at each step of the printing process, if possible. Do not assume that all will go as planned!
