We use Xerox digital printers for our printing. Our printers produce high quality text and graphics with crisp vivid colours and will give your book a professional look and feel. Our standard paper is a high quality 100gm white paper which is suitable for text and graphics equally.

Printing in colour?

Please be aware, pages with ANY colour will count as and be charged as a colour page. This will include hyperlinks if they are still in blue on the PDF and can often include light greys (if not set up to be B/W) and/ or scanned images. Please check your PDF to avoid any unexpected charges.

Your university or college will usually provide you with a binding specification but generally the binding style will fall into one of two categories - hard binding or soft binding, this is not always clear so please have a look at the bindings we offer to best suit your requirements.

You will find info about the different bindings within the order form by clicking on the (?)’s next to that particular binding.

Turnaround time

Please note weekends are not counted as working days

Standard turnaround times

We can print and bind your book on the same day, if we receive your order by 10.30am it will be ready for collection or dispatch at 3.30pm that day.

We need to receive your order by 10.30am for it to be counted as a working day, for example if you order a 3 day service before 10.30am on Monday it would be ready Wednesday afternoon at 3.30pm if you had ordered the 2 day service it would be ready Tuesday at 3.30pm.

We foil emboss your book covers with a gold or silver foil to your university specification.

Some universities require spine lettering only but others require your hard binding to have lettering on the front cover also. This would usually be specified on the binding requirements provided by your university. If you are not sure please call and we should be able to advise you.
