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.

A Little About Archival Quality
External Factors – Production
Offset Printing (generally 100 or more books)
Offset printing involves chemicals which may overcome the buffering of the standard paper to some extent. The process takes place at room temperature with standard lighting and both sides of the page are printed at once. We use a non-oxidizing, rubber base ink (pH-N/A) rather than an oil base.
Digital Printing (generally 99 or fewer books)
The paper is subjected to high heat and light during the initial transfer process. Note it goes through this process twice for book pages, once for each side. The black powder toner seems to have quite a resistance to secondary heat sources.

A Little About Archival Quality
Internal Factors
Binding
The various binding processes that are employed take the same care to negate acidity as the care of paper selection noted above.
External Factors – Production
Gregath Printing Facility
Our printing plant is in a rural area with low air pollution. While we are not a “white glove” facility, our employees are kept to a “clean hands” policy, which minimizes the amount of oils on the skin (guarding against acid transfer), as well as taking precautions to further lower particulates and chemicals in the air, in-house. Our physical plant is kept at an optimum temperature with a low relative humidity (down to 45%).

Paper Opacity: property which minimized to “show through” of printing from the book side of the next sheet.
Uncoated: Paper with no surface treatment; the printing surface is the stock itself.
Absorbent Paper (see Paper): Covering a variety of papers made for absorbing water and inks (degrees vary). Examples: duplicating, filter, blotting and toweling papers.

Splitting binding types for economy: Final book publishing costs can be reduced by the types of bindings that are chosen. While a full project of hardbound books (standard, deluxe, or color) may not be affordable, a publishing of softbound books are. Depending on the project, it may be possible to hard bind a few of these special to accommodate special paid pre-orders, special gift and family books, collector editions, etc. By printing the text blocks at the same time, offset orders even saves on printing, versus publishing a hand full of hardbound books separately.
