What is Book Printing?

Printing a book involves the cover to be printed, then the textual pages, and finally these are all bound together. It is the first step in the process of converting a book from the author’s manuscript to the final product.

After a book is printed, printers almost never keep the rights to publish it themselves. Besides, printers don’t usually offer design, editorial, and advertising, essential to present any book to an audience. Book printers take care of printing the book and the book binding, while book publishers retain the rights to a book. Once it is released – publishers own the intellectual property rights of a book.

Book Binding and Finishing

There are different options when it comes to book binding. These include:

• When it comes to book finishing methods, this is probably the most important factor that contributes to the appearance of the book.
• Finishing options include lamination, varnishing, embossing or debossing, and foil stamping.
• Adding a protective layer to the surface of the cover, to make it sturdier is lamination. The laminating layer can be either glossy or matte.
• Varnish adds a smooth texture to the cover of the book and can again be matte or glossy.
• Magazine covers usually use this finishing option.
• To emphasize book titles embossing is commonly used. Embossing includes raising parts of the cover to give it more texture.
• Debossing, on the contrary, indents the segments of the cover.
• Foil stamping uses heat or pressure to apply a soft metallic foil to specific parts of the book surface.
