Our Approach to Book Printing
Book printing works best when decisions are made early and specifications are kept clear. Our approach is built around defining the job properly before production begins, so quality and timelines stay predictable throughout.
By limiting options and focusing on processes we know well, we reduce the risk of issues during printing and finishing.
Designed for Clarity
We don’t aim to be a high-volume trade printer. Inkavi is set up for projects where quality, consistency, and communication matter more than pushing as many jobs through the system as possible.
That focus allows us to keep standards high and the process straightforward from start to finish.
How Our Book Printing Process Works
The way a book is printed matters just as much as the final result. Poor communication, unclear specifications, or rushed decisions often lead to avoidable issues. Our process is designed to prevent that.
We start by confirming whether a project is suitable, agreeing specifications, and setting expectations early. Files are checked before production, proofs are approved where required, and each stage of printing and finishing is managed with consistency in mind.
We produce paperback and hardback books, journals, manuals, workbooks, and similar printed publications. Each project is handled to the same standard, whether it’s a short run or a repeat order.
Our book printing service is best suited to projects where clarity, quality, and reliability matter. If a project isn’t the right fit, we’ll say so early and clearly.
Commonly Used Paper Stocks
We work with a defined range of paper stocks that balance quality, availability, and consistency across short-run production.

Various Binding Options for Every Book
Binding options depend on page count, format, and intended use. We’ll advise on the most appropriate option during quoting.
Perfect binding is ideal for most paperback books and provides a clean, square spine.
Thread-sewn binding is a more durable option, often used for premium books and hardbacks where longevity matters.
For shorter booklets or publications with lower page counts, saddle-stitching offers a cost-effective and efficient solution.
