We enjoy helping self-published authors realize their dreams.

Bar Code: Identifies a book's ISBN, title and price in scannable format. We can digitally generate barcodes for you. We also accept them on film, positive prints, or digital files. Barcode Tips

Bleeds: Printing that extends to the edge of the page after trimming is called a bleed. To ensure ink coverage to the bleed edge, we need ¼ inch of inked paper to trim away after printing.

Color Separation: To reproduce a full-color photograph, we must convert it into the four primary colors used in process color printing--cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK). Using a professional scanner, we scan the photograph and convert it to CMYK. The image can now be imported into a page makeup program and placed in a book cover layout. To print the image, we create four separate press plates--one for each of the four colors.

Dots Per Inch (dpi): DPI measures image resolution which is composed of dots. The more dots per inch, the greater the clarity of the image. DPI measurements can be adjusted on monitors, scanners, printers, and imagesetters.
