Post-Press Processing

Matte surfaces reflect less light; gloss creates a more noticeable reflection and colour effect. Confirm availability of Soft-Touch or other textures. Mention writing and QR-scanning requirements and check them on a sample.

Specify the desired colour and provide a separate vector layer for foil. The foil colour, process and compatibility with the paper are confirmed before ordering; an on-screen colour cannot replace a physical sample.

Wire-O uses double wire loops; a regular spiral winds continuously through the holes. Both require room for the holes and unobstructed page turning. Confirm the material, diameter and availability for the thickness of your publication.

Timing depends on material, quantity, artwork readiness and the production schedule. Share your required date; express availability and the handover date are confirmed before ordering.

Staples can suit thin publications and require the appropriate page arrangement. Adhesive binding creates a continuous spine whose width depends on paper and page count. Spiral and Wire-O can suit working documents that are opened frequently. Confirm the available method, page-count limits and cover requirements before ordering.

Send interior and cover PDFs, finished dimensions, page count, quantity, preferred paper and binding type. Prepare the cover spine, bleed and binding margins to the agreed specifications. If the sheets are already printed, send their dimensions, thickness and photos.
