Three Factors to Consider While Selecting Book Printing Online Services

Monday, June 28th, 2021

Publishing a book is a complex task. Writing a book itself might feel overwhelming but the next and more important thing is the printing. Printing plays an important role in publishing any marketing content or books and novels that will communicate well with the audience. There is a reason why people spend their time searching for different color printing online companies as the main goal is to have an outcome that is completely perfect and aligns with the expectations of the publishers. When it comes to books and novels, the first thing that readers notice is how clear and perfectly the words are printed in the book. Generally, books include visuals and graphics in a large amount. The visuals are a great way for readers to relate to the story and interact with the characters. Regardless of how amazing the graphics are, printing is always more important. (more…)

I mentioned in a prior PIE Blog article that a print brokering client of mine (a husband-and-wife publishing team) needed a shorter schedule for one of their books. This client’s publishing house has hard deadlines for final book delivery. If a printer misses a deadline for delivery to the print book distributor, my client’s books get rejected. Ouch. (more…)

During Covid-19 my fiancee and I have spent a profoundly inordinate amount of time in our favorite thrift store keeping our spirits up when we’re not working. During this time she has brought to my attention, or actually bought, a number of unique books. And as is often the case when I see books with qualities that set them apart from digital-only products on the internet, I’d like to share one of these with you. (more…)

Why You Should Outsource Online Flyer Printing

Saturday, April 10th, 2021

Flyers are small but good looking printed materials that are very useful in printing businesses. Although they can be printed online, they are used on a physical basis. Handing these over to newspaper and magazine vendors is extremely helpful in carrying out marketing promotions. There are many companies which can carry out online flyer printing in bulk, and their contacts are available online. However, to be able to get through to a wide variety of companies, it would be suitable to look for a reliable print coordinator first, who can make the necessary links. (more…)

Book Printing: Play to the Strengths of the Print Book

Thursday, February 18th, 2021

Photo purchased from … www.depositphotos.com

On one of our almost daily trips to our favorite thrift store, my fiancee found a print book she liked about “chalk paint.” It is called Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint Workbook. I didn’t look at the book closely at first, but over the next few days at her suggestion I delved deeply into its content and production values. The book designer and publisher had included multiple design and production qualities and techniques that set this do-it-yourself text far beyond any presentation a digital book could offer. (more…)

Photo purchased from … www.depositphotos.com

My fiancee and I were recently looking for new art projects for our art therapy work with the autistic. Since we had found a plastic mummy kit in the thrift store for educating kids in the religion, mythology, and embalming processes that ensured ancient Egyptians a safe passage to the next life, we decided to have our students build and decorate a cardboard sarcophagus (essentially a mummy case).
