📚 Book Printing Guide: Paper, Binding, Customization & Production Process

📝 Paper Recommendation

Choosing the right paper is essential for achieving the best results in book printing:

  • Inner Pages:
    Offset paper (also known as woodfree paper) is ideal for clear, non-reflective printing. Common thicknesses include:
    60gsm, 70gsm, 80gsm, 100gsm, 120gsm.

  • Covers:
    We recommend 250gsm or 300gsm coated paper (art paper or coated artboard) for a sturdy, professional appearance.

🔗 Binding Options

The binding method depends on the spine thickness:

  • Spine < 3mm: Saddle Stitch Binding

  • Spine > 3mm: Perfect Binding

Other available options include:
Wire binding, Comb binding, Strip stapled, Ring binding, and Hardcover binding.

✨ Customization Options

We support a wide range of customizations to bring your vision to life:

  • Sizes: A4 (210×297mm), A5 (148×210mm), B5 (176×250mm), or custom dimensions

  • Printing: Black & white, full color (CMYK), or custom color matching

  • Special Finishes: Lamination, UV printing, hot stamping, embossing, custom shapes, and more

🛠 Book Printing Process

✅ Step 1: Typesetting & File Preparation

Design and layout are the foundation of quality printing. This stage involves arranging your content, refining every detail, and finalizing the document before printing can begin.

🧐 Step 2: Proofing & Production Arrangement

Before mass production, we create a digital proof to identify and correct potential issues. Minor color variations from final prints are normal due to proofing methods. Once the proof is approved, we schedule full production.

🔧 Step 3: Prepress & Plate Making

This stage includes:

  • Typesetting check

  • Hard blueline proofreading

  • CTP (Computer-to-Plate) plate making
    Paper procurement is also arranged at this time.

🖨 Step 4: Printing & Binding

Books are printed using high-performance machines, followed by precise binding. Each method has a specific workflow:

  • Saddle Stitching: Folding → Binding → Quality Control → Packing

  • Perfect Binding: Folding → Gathering → Glue Binding → Trimming → QC → Packing

  • Sewn Binding: Folding → Gathering → Sewing → Glue Binding → Trimming → QC → Packing

  • Hardcover Binding: Folding → Sewing → Binding → Trimming → Greyboard Lamination → Bookblock Assembly → QC → Packing

Correct Use and Maintenance of Anilox Rolls in Flexographic Printing

-
  In traditional multi-color letterpress and lithographic printing machines, the inking system consists of a series of rollers, including the ink fountain roller, ink transfer roller, ink distribution roller, ink oscillating roller, and ink form roller, among others, totaling up to twenty or more rollers. While this system generally meets the requirements for ink transfer, it struggles to maintain a constant ink supply. In contrast, flexographic printing machines utilize a short inking system, where the anilox roller provides a consistent and uniform ink supply through its engraved cells. The anilox roller plays a pivotal role in flexographic printing, and understanding its proper use and maintenance is crucial for avoiding operational errors, improving product quality, and enhancing production efficiency.
