Every book here was printed and bound in our Exeter bindery for the person named, from 10 copies up. Under them, some of the people we printed for, with their copies. The reviews are pulled live from our Google listing, word for word.
My first attempt at 85 to produce at book was made so easy by ImprintDigital that I wish I had attempted it earlier. Their service from initial contact was terrific, their sample book enabled me to give them what they required and and I wish the quality of my text was as good as the quality of the printed books I received .
It was my first time printing books with Imprint, and I had a really good experience. The books came out just as I expected, and they were packed really carefully for delivery. Happy with the service and the quality!
Brilliant company, which I highly recommend for any printing task, large or small.
I would give 10 stars if I could. This was my first foray into preparing a book myself for self publishing. In the past we have paid a designer a vast amount which wasn’t a cost effective option for this project. Riley at Imprint was endlessly helpful and patient and we have ended up with a very professional product at an incredibly reasonable price. What is even more outstanding is that I approved the final PDF on Wednesday and received the books on Friday!
