Printing

You've had your manuscript polished, laid out, and now it's ready to be printed. But there are so many decisions to be made about printing that the whole process can be very daunting, and that’s where CPM can help.

We can walk you through the maze of technical terms and printing options, so that you come out with exactly what you want. Here are some things to think about:

• How big do you want the book to be – as small as a paperback or a more generous coffee-table size? The standard sizes used in publishing are generally more cost-effective.
• What kind of paper would you like it to be printed on? Paper stock can be lightweight or heavyweight, and the finish can be glossy or matt.
• There are different types of binding to choose from, including stitched, glued, spiral and stapled.
• Does your book need to be in full colour, or would black and white be more suitable?
• Would you like a particular number of copies printed, or just print-on-demand, as and when people place an order?

All these variables, and more, affect the cost of printing your book. CPM works with a number of trusted printers to offer you the most suitable solution at the best possible price. Contact us to find out how we can help you.
