Prepress

All the file preparation between a finished layout and the press: colour, bleed, crop marks, imposition, output.

More in Print & production

Hardcover binding: the book block is sewn or glued into rigid boards (the 'case'). Durable and premium.

The four ink colours used in printing — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key (black). Print files should be CMYK, not screen RGB.

Coated paper has a smooth (matte or gloss) surface for crisp images; uncoated is more natural and easier to read for long text.

Thin lines outside the trim showing where to cut. Paired with bleed.

Dots/pixels per inch — image resolution. Print images should be 300 DPI at final size; 'PPI' also means a paper's pages-per-inch.

Raising (emboss) or recessing (deboss) an image or text into the cover for a tactile effect.
