Glossary of Terms
Quantity. You can list several
quantities for us to quote. We do not quote on quantities under 300
for hard cover or full color books, or under 500 for
black and white soft cover books
Page Count. Each side of a sheet
(or leaf) counts as a page, whether it's printed or blank. more
Trim Size. We can manufacture books in
any size from 4 x 5 high to 9 x 12 high or larger.
Shape. If your book is horizontal - wider than it is high -
please say "Landscape" along with the dimensions.
Standard sizes include 5.5 x 8.5, 6 x
9, 7 x 10, 8 x 10, and 8.5 x 11. For hard cover books, this is the size of the pages; the cover
is larger.
Cover Inks. "Full color" is 4
color process. Or you can specify black ink only or several colors
of ink.
*Text Inks.
This refers to the number of inks used on the "inside" pages of
the book. *If the book has full color pictures, then the "right" answer
is 4 color process.
We can economically include color on some pages and have the remaining
pages with black ink only. If you'd like to do this, give a description
under Further Requirements.
Binding. We provide perfect binding,
saddle stitch, case binding, plastikoil, wire-O, GBC, and loose leaf. We
can do a "mixed order" with part of the order bound one way
and the rest bound a different way (You need to tell us how many you
want each way.)
Hard Cover
(Case) Binding. We need a little extra information to give you an
accurate quote.

Cover Paper. If you don't specify, we'll
quote an appropriate paper (and identify it for you).
Cover Finish. This can be none, varnish
(or aqueous coating), layflat gloss film laminate, or layflat
matte film laminate. For 4 color
process covers, you need varnish or film laminate for protection.
