Publication Design Ideas

We can and do provide color work for our customers, though it is rarely a "bargain basement" option in print. Full color process work is achieved as a result of ink changes or combination ink runs are priced higher than black on white, or even brown on white. Depending on the method of reproduction however if you Steve Warren, author of Brilliant Victory... wanted, say, brown printing on cream paper the ink is still 1 color (brown instead of black) and wouldn't be charged extra (however the color paper would cost extra). Often color changes are used to highlight certain text areas, reproduce photos in color or for a coat of arms. Should you desire a color photo page or something else on the color page, we do offer process work for best quality. Full color book page suggestion, includes color photos, color artwork, color wordart, and color text. For runs smaller than 500, we suggest copy machine color. This has proven quite successful and economic on the smaller runs.

When the choice is made to make the page color, don't forget that you are paying for a color page. This fee will change little, if at all, regardless of how much or how little color is used within suggested margins. Because of this, please note that your text can be colored, if there is something that should be highlighted - choose your color or colors! Clip art and word art can also be used effectively with colors where they may bring disappointing results in black and white.

Do you have lots of color photographs in you book manuscript, but still prefer an economical book?
Consider a "hybrid" printed book and CD combo package!

Cut the total cost of "in print", by adding a CD to the back of the book. Place most (if not all) of your photos (color, black and white, etc) and documents (even preserve their color) on a CD for the back. Place forms, charts, and additional material you may not have justified "in print" space for on the CD. Add video, audio, and anything else to the book that you can think of. Even photos, documents, etc. that you place in the book b/w, if they are color, add them to the CD. Many times, this "hybrid" book approach can lend much more enjoyment to a book project, while saving money for the bottom line. The CD can be placed directly on a hub (or nub) attached to the book. Generally, you can find these on the inside of the back cover. They can also be placed in sleeves attached to the book. If it is an optional CD, they can even be placed in loose sleeves or jewel cases.
