Medium to Long Runs (1000-5000 books)
These runs are traditionally run as offset jobs. Your files will be preflighted, then ripped and imposed into 32 page layouts. These will be proofed and plated. One of our offset presses will print your text sheets and the other will print your cover. Once we have everything printed, bindery will put your book together and ship your completed books to you!
On average, the whole process takes about 20 days until shipped. The timeline will vary from job to job, so speak to your sales or client service rep.

Short Run (25-1000 books)
These runs are often, but not always, done digitally. We use two presses to get this done. The iGen3-90, for all your colour pages and covers, and the Nuvera 120 and 288, for all black and white texts. These runs are usually done quicker not only because the smaller quantity, but due to less stages throughout the plant. The path from when we receive the file to when we ship it is usually shorter. Another benefit of short runs is the ability to have your books on demand. Should you need more, we will already have your files on hand to just print a few extra copies off.
On average, the whole process takes about 15 days until shipped. The timeline will vary from job to job, so speak to your sales or client service rep.
