Introduction
Books hold a special place in our hearts, whether for sharing stories, knowledge, or creativity. At Newstyle Print, we understand the importance of quality printing that brings your vision to life. From vibrant colours to crisp text and flawless binding, our printing services ensure your books make a lasting impression.
Helpful Tips for Printing Your Books
1. Choose the Right Paper Stock
The feel of a book begins with the paper. Selecting the appropriate weight and finish affects both the look and durability. For novels and general reading, a smooth, lightweight paper works well, while art books benefit from thicker, coated stocks that make images pop.
2. Consider Binding Options Carefully
Binding is key to your book’s usability and aesthetic appeal. Perfect binding offers a sleek, professional finish for thicker books, while saddle stitching suits thinner booklets. Newstyle Print specialises in various binding techniques to match your project’s needs.
3. Design with Print in Mind
When preparing artwork, ensure your files meet printing standards—high resolution, correct colour profiles (CMYK), and bleed margins. This helps avoid unwanted surprises and guarantees clear, vibrant results.
4. Proofread and Approve Thoroughly
Errors in print can be costly. Take time to proofread every page and request a proof copy from your printer. At Newstyle Print, we offer proofs so you can check colours, layout, and text before the final run.
5. Plan Your Print Run Size
Whether you need a small batch or a large volume, Newstyle Print can accommodate your requirements efficiently. Smaller print runs offer flexibility and reduce waste, while larger runs typically lower per-unit costs.
Case-Style Example: Bringing a Local Author’s Vision to Life
A local author approached Newstyle Print wanting to publish a collection of poetry. They desired a tactile, elegant book that readers would cherish. Our team recommended a matte-coated paper paired with perfect binding to provide durability and style. After reviewing proofs and making minor adjustments, the final print run was delivered on time with vibrant colours and a smooth finish. The author was thrilled with the quality, and the books quickly gained popularity at regional bookshops and readings.
Conclusion
Printing books is a craft that combines quality materials, expert techniques, and attention to detail. With Newstyle Print’s knowledge and dedication, your book project will not only look professional but also resonate with your audience. Whether you’re self-publishing, creating a catalogue, or designing a bespoke gift, we’re here to help every step of the way.
