Don’t assume that all book printers produce the same quality. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every company has their own process, sources of material and equipment; it makes a huge difference in how your finished product will look and how long it will last. Some materials are meant to look beautiful fresh off the press but, given time non-acid free paper will begin to yellow and non PUR binding will dry out and book spines will eventually begin to crack.
These are just a few factors to be aware of when trying to decide whether you are getting a premium quality product. Our cost is primarily based on factors such as book dimensions, number of pages, the quantity being printed and the state of the files submitted. You shouldn't need to learn every aspect of publishing to get a quality book. You do the writing and let us do the rest!
Print On Demand ?
Binding: PUR vs Hot Melt
Professional Expectations
We’ll admit Amazon may be the master of print on demand. If you can navigate their automated input system and if your book will live solely within the confines of the Amazon ecosystem (printed by and sold by) without your involvement, then they are the company for you.
Our service is for those that need actual physical book copies. Perhaps a public speaker with an event, a university or business related printing to be distributed employees. Maybe you’re selling to your social circle or peer group or a personal publication meant for family and friends. It may be you simply want to maintain control over your creative property and the production process.
We work with many entrepreneurs, journalist and influencers that have their own websites and online properties. They've found that books are a very powerful tool for brand messaging and amplifying a public persona. It seems even a book with very few pages can help to strengthen a client or follower base and generate additional income. We understand that one size does not fit all and we’re here to help.

. . . always ask, is it PUR binding?
The worst and most embarrassing thing that can happen to an author is for pages to fall
out of your book. Book binding can be an expensive process and it's easy for some
printers to be tempted to cut corners. We use only "polyurethane reactive" (PUR)
bonding agents for paperback perfect binding.
While the cost of what's called "Hotmelt " glue and binding equipment may be much cheaper, many customers have complained of spine wrinkling and even occasionally page fall out. We feel the slightly higher production cost of PUR is more than justified. We can sleep at night, knowing that our customers will be satisfied and even proud of the end product that they receive. We know that it's important to you that your readers have a good experience.
Know the difference! As a printer there are many ways to cut corners, one is by using a laminating machine instead of UV coating. While the technology of using laminating for book covers has gotten better it has never been the choice of major publishing companies. And it's a fairly clear indication to the public of a self published book.
Because film Laminates are less expensive, they're frequently used by smaller printers instead of UV coating. While this could lower your cost 10 – 20 cents per book, some customers have complained that covers tend to curl and the overall look and feel is somewhat different than paperbacks produced by traditional publishers.
This should not be a problem if you’re distributing among family and friends but if you are looking to have the professional appearance of a book store equivalent publication you may want to go with the standard of UV coating.
UV coating is the industry standard for professionally printed book covers.
