Helpful answers
Books & Catalogs FAQs
Answers to common questions about binding, paper, page counts, artwork and ordering professionally printed books and catalogs in Ottawa.
Which binding option should I choose?
Saddle stitch is ideal for shorter booklets, catalogs and programs. Spiral coil is durable and practical for frequently used manuals, while Wire-O provides a refined lay-flat presentation.
What is the difference between self cover and a separate cover?
A self-cover booklet uses the same paper for every page, including the cover. A separate-cover booklet uses a heavier cover stock around lighter interior pages for added durability and presentation.
How should I count pages in my book file?
Count every printed page, including blank pages and covers when applicable. Saddle-stitched booklets are generally produced in page counts divisible by four because each folded sheet creates four pages.
How should I prepare the artwork?
Supply a print-ready PDF with individual pages in reading order, the correct finished dimensions and required bleed. Keep page numbers, text and important graphics within the safe area.
Which paper is best for a photo-rich catalog?
Coated gloss text stocks reproduce photographs and colour graphics with greater vibrancy. Heavier text stocks create a more substantial premium feel but also increase the finished book thickness.
Are premium cover finishes available?
Available finishing depends on the selected product. Options may include lamination and specialty enhancements such as raised spot gloss or metallic foil. Review the product options or request a custom quote.
Can I pick up my book order in Ottawa?
Yes. Local pickup is available in Ottawa when offered during checkout. Canada-wide shipping options may also be available based on the order specifications and destination.
