How many books can I order?

BookArt generally has a minimum of 50 books for our standard print services. For runs smaller and special projects, please complete our estimation form and share details about the project in the notes section.

Are my images of high enough quality and will you color correct them?

We stipulate a minimum dpi of 300 to preserve reproduction qualities. We do not color correct your files. We provide physical proofs that will help you determine the outcome of your printed file and serve as a benchmark for your adjustment of individual pages. With our digital print methods, we offer blanket adjustments when needed to shift brightness and color across the entire print file.

What if I need help with my book design?

We will be happy to advise on file setup and book design at no charge. Full book design services are also offered; please reach out with details about your project here.

Can I create my own book sizes?

Yes. Please complete the estimate form here

Can I alter my design after my order is submitted?

You will have every opportunity to submit new files for your book order up until a digital or printed proof is approved, at which time we begin printing your book immediately.

How do I pay?

BookArt accepts payment by e-transfer, credit card, debit card and PayPal.

What information is needed for an estimate?

Provide the intended trim size, page count, quantity, colour requirements, binding, cover direction, special finishes, delivery destination and target schedule. If a specification is undecided, identify it as open rather than guessing. See our book production resources before starting an estimate.

Which binding should I choose?

The right binding depends on page count, paper, format, quantity, durability, budget and how the book should open. Compare the main options in our book binding guide.

What types of proof are available?

Depending on the project, clients can review a digital PDF proof, a printed-sheet proof or a fully bound copy. The appropriate proof depends on whether you need to evaluate content, sequence, colour, paper, finishing or construction. Read our proofing and colour guide.

How do paper and special finishes affect a book?

Paper affects image reproduction, colour, thickness, opening behaviour and feel. Foil, debossing, screen printing and edge colouring add production requirements of their own. Review our guides to paper and special finishes.
