Black & White Printing

‍Black & White printing is the industry standard for most books — clean, timeless, and cost-effective. Text appears crisp and legible on both cream and white paper, offering the highest readability and the lowest production cost per copy.
‍
It’s ideal for books that rely on words, not images — where clarity, contrast, and simplicity matter most. Whether you’re publishing a novel, memoir, or textbook, Black & White delivers a professional finish that looks elegant on any shelf.
‍
Best for: Fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, novels, poetry, business handbooks, and educational titles.

Standard Color

Standard Colour uses high-quality digital printing to add vibrancy to your pages while keeping costs accessible. It’s designed for books that feature light illustrations, charts, or minimal photography — where a touch of colour enhances the experience without requiring art-gallery precision.
‍
The result is a beautiful, practical balance: strong colour reproduction, sharp text, and smooth gradients — perfect for authors who want colour on every page without premium production costs.

As a general rule, we recommend Standard Color printing for books where less than 50% of the content is in color – such as cookbooks with a balance of both rich photography, and detailed recipes on opposing pages.
‍
Best for: Children’s books, workbooks, cookbooks, guides, illustrated fiction, and nonfiction titles with moderate use of images or graphics.

Premium Color

Premium Colour printing delivers the highest standard of colour reproduction available in print-on-demand publishing. Every page is rendered with precise detail, deep contrast, and exceptional tonal range — giving your visuals a gallery-quality appearance.
‍
This format is ideal for books where imagery defines the experience. It’s trusted by artists, photographers, and designers for showcasing their work with unmatched fidelity. Premium Colour ensures your book feels luxurious in hand and visually stunning on every page.

Due to the higher cost of Premium Color printing, we recommend this option for books with a page count lower than 50 pages. This makes it ideal for illustrated children's books.
‍
Best for: Art books, photography, fashion portfolios, high-end cookbooks, design collections, and premium marketing editions.
