Four (4)/Full Color Separation: Each of the colors that make “full color” are separated in preparation to print separately – these layers make up the full color printed item. A color photograph is reproduced in the print media through this process.
*Galley: A mock up of the books layouts. This layout doesn’t usually have final illustrations, artwork, or photographs. Galleys are rarely included in basic prices.

Still thinking in black and white? The days of green and amber monitors are well past, as is unaffordable color computer copies. We live in a color world and while you may not be able to afford a full color printed book, consider using color in your sales items. Always check the price difference between color and black and white (from letterhead and envelopes to flyer and bookmarks) – the margin of savings may not equal the value loss.

When deciding to produce a full color book, or add a few color pages, remember that placement counts – a color section results in less insertion costs than the same number of pages sprinkled through out a book.

Lots of books that have dust jackets are rather plain underneath with a binding band along the spine. One way to have this band and still save money is to forgo the dust covers in favor of a 4-color cover. The spine can still have the same banded look along with most, if not all, of your original dust cover layout thoughts.

Most printer/publishers can and do provide color work for customers. Color achieved as a result of ink changes or combination ink runs are often priced higher. Depending on the method of reproduction however if you wanted say brown printing on cream paper the ink is still 1 color (brown instead of black) and wouldn’t be charged extra (however the color paper would cost extra). Often color changes are used to highlight certain text areas or for a coat of arms. Should you desire a color photo page, we offer process work. However, it must be pointed out that it is not cost effective on runs less than 500. We can also have color pages copied or in very small quantities possibly inkjet reproduced for economy.
