Self Publisher Book Printing

Book Printing

Choose a company that specializes in book printing. A lot of printers want to publish books because they are extremely profitable compared to other types of printing. By choosing a printer that only produces books, you will benefit from their experience.

How to Choose a Book Printing Company

The easiest way to select a printer is to create a Request for Quotation(RFQ). In the RFQ you should completely describe the details of the print job. You decide on hardcover vs. soft, types of paper, color, etc. For your first print run you should print between 1000 and 3000 books. Anything less and the cost per book is too high to turn a profit as a self publisher.
