What Book Printing Companies Suggest Specific Page Size & Counts ?

When you create your page layout you will always want to be press efficient for book printing companies, in order to get the best pricing possible from the book printing company you choose. The book printing company, whether using large sheet fed presses or roll stock paper on a web press, lay out the pages in "press forms" or "signatures." Most presses at book printing companies, using an approximate 8.5 x 11" letter sized page, are equipped to run sixteen pages, at this size in a press sheet or signature. This means that if your work is an approximately 5 1/2 x 8.5" page size, that it will print 32 to 64 pages per press form. Yield is important and will affect your price. The most cost effective way for a book printing company to print is by doing so with complete forms. On page count incremental increases, you will see a better per page cost the larger the form for those additional pages beyond the natural form. In other words, if your book printing company is creating a ninety six page issue for you, then you are creating three, thirty two page forms. It therefore would be more cost effective, on a per page basis to print sixteen pages, then eight. The reason you always see blank pages at the back, is due to this fact. It is more cost effective to print eight pages than four.

What A Book Printing Company Suggest For Paper?

The first thing any book printing company will tell you about paper is that you buy it by weight. All paper stock is sold by the pound, which of course explains why you will pay more for a 60# weight than a 70#. After weight comes finish. There are many finishes available, but two things guide the availability: On a web press, the paper companies have been making many paper stocks less available as well as this being generally the rule between a web press, where the book printing company must by large rolls, vs. the sheet fed press, where you will have a much larger choice of paper. The second issue that a book printing company will face is printability. If short run printing, which usually means laser, you are limited not only to a smooth finish, but also the fact that book printing companies have less choices when they are buying cut stock.
