If you look closely at the photo above, you’ll see a man hand stitching several press signatures into a text block for either a Smyth sewn paperback book or more than likely a case-bound print book. You’ll note that the signatures are stacked next to each other. The stitching (within each signature and between signatures) will significantly strengthen the overall binding of this print book and would therefore be an ideal option for a paperbound art museum book or a case-bound book.

February 3rd, 2022

This is owing to the fact that color printing requires four colors; cyan, magenta, yellow, and a “key,” which is commonly black— whereas black and white printing only requires one ink.

Posted in Paper Coatings | Comments Off on Book Printing: Paper Coatings Provide a Buffed Shine

Photo purchased from … www.depositphotos.com

Nothing signals quality like a high-gloss shine, whether it’s a fast car (“I can see myself in your Ferrari”) or even a print book cover.

Custom Printing: Buying Just One Prototype of a Presentation Binder

Photo purchased from … www.depositphotos.com

I remember learning the concept of a “one-off.” Since I was used to ordering 60,000+ copies of a print book job back in the ‘90s as an art director of a nonprofit government education organization, I couldn’t quite wrap my brain around producing only one copy of anything.

Posted in Design | Comments Off on Custom Printing: Tips on Designing with Photographs

Photo purchased from … www.depositphotos.com

In the 1980s, about a year after I had graduated from college and then had edited a small community tabloid for almost no pay, I got what my father called “a real job.” I was hired to copyedit, design, and shoot photos for print books published by a DC-area government education organization.
