Prepress
We will work with you in whatever format suits your needs for getting files uploaded: whether it's using our FTP site, WeTransfer, or sending a hard drive in the mail.
Proofing
All of our projects will include digital proofs sent in the form of a finished book. We may discuss running a press test in addition to proofs, to guarantee color, process and finishings.
Offset Printing
Black and white photography is best printed using our proprietary software called Sepiana Showing. It will provide better definition and depth.
For a stronger more vibrant color, we suggest Chroma Centric printing.
Varnish is used to enhance images and text, as well as provide protection against potential offsetting.
Finishing & Bindery
Hard case books have sewn signatures, end sheets and head & tail bands. Soft cover books lay flat when using flexi binding, or they can be perfect bound.
Cloth or paper hard covers can be foil stamped and debossed.
Slipcases and Clamshells are used for special editions to house more than just books.
Bumper Boxes
Custom-sized cardboard boxes protect books during transit, ensure all corners are safe if dropped and can act as an extra marketing billboard when printed.
Shipping
While sea freight is preferred for it’s sustainability and affordability, we also utilize air freight. Our services always include customs clearance, tariffs, and delivery to your door.
