Self Publishing - How To Choose A Book Printer

Choosing a printer when the output self-publishing is one of the most important decisions. Choose the wrong printer, and you return a book that is one of poor quality can get, or you may end up paying way too much.

For the purposes of this article, I discuss the different companies to print on-demand. The reason that I'm talking about full self-publication, which the author / publisher and order his or her book at a time, print runs of hundreds or thousands of books pays the full cost of publication.

The first step to choosing a printer for your self publishing project to solicit bids from several printers. You tell the printer about your book will need some details: the number of pages, the books you order, want to trim the size of the book, whether paperback or hard cover you want volume. Some printers other questions, such as a covered or laminated paper stock you want to ask.

When asking for your bid, also ask about turnaround time. And ask the printer to send you samples. When you receive your samples and quotes, read them. Samples with quotes you've received, and the turnaround time to look at the quality, especially if time is a concern for your project.

Book manufacturers generally higher than normal local printers offer competitively priced quotation. Because the book manufacturers often specialize in book printing to printers that do not quality books at better rates than the production technology.

Getting a good price on your printing is important because it's only you in putting together your book does not have to spend. You also editing, book layout and cover design, marketing, and cost more.

Look at both the overall cost of printing books, as well as the cost per unit.

You can get a lot of disparity in the prices of print, but the price may not be your only factor when choosing a printer should do. You sure you want to make getting a quality product, and a turnaround time that works for you.

The small print you get a cheaper quote, but then later that a poorly put together book from the printer comes back a lot later than you expected or planned to feel good . It pre-publication publicity could ruin the plan. Not to mention your budget.

I print clients on projects in which I requested several quotes because I'm sure that our customers wanted was the best deal for the work. Often, citing the disparity in prices was quite large - saving customers thousands of dollars.

So keep that in mind. And sample - - when you ask for quotes from the printer instead of just one number, a printing deal that you have a good chance of working.
