Journal printing for guided journals, planners and notebooks you intend to sell, made in our own Exeter bindery.
Thread-sewn binding helps a journal open more easily, but does not make it completely lay-flat. It suits guided journals, planners and workbooks used often; glued binding is also available. Choose cream or white uncoated paper and test a sample with your preferred pen. Add a hardback case or soft cover, with optional foil blocking or a ribbon marker. Prompts and rulings are printed with the pages. From 10 paperbacks or 25 hardbacks, with a free digital proof.
A5 leads, with every standard trim and any size to the millimetre. Portrait, landscape or square.
Choose thread-sewn or glued binding, with a hardback case or a soft cover for a lighter journal. Printed case or cloth, foil blocked, with a ribbon marker.
Cream or white uncoated writing papers. Test a sample with the pens you plan to use. The preview page shows the stock in its own shade.
Black and white, colour or a mix of the two. The slider follows the binding's page rules, so every count it offers is one we can bind.
Every run size from 10 copies (25 for hardbacks) is priced live, with a free digital proof on every order.
For hardback orders, the printed proof is a plain-cover paperback with a separate sample of your cover. About proofs.

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!
I'm delighted with the whole printing experience with ImprintDigital. In a book with many colour photos and detailed technical illustrations, the printing quality is absolutely superb, with bright, true colours, sharp details and a high-quality glossy texture. The ordering process was simple and email responses were fast, friendly and professional..A delivery issue caused by another company was handled swiftly and elegantly. I highly recommend ImprintDigital.

Journal pricing depends on page count, paper, size, binding, cover materials and quantity. Colour pages and additions such as ribbons or printed endpapers also affect the cost. Use the calculator above for your exact specification, or compare UK book printing prices.
Yes, lined, dotted, grid, blank or any custom ruling at no extra cost. We can supply ruling templates if your designer doesn't have one. Custom rulings work particularly well for branded corporate journals (brand-coloured rule lines, logo watermarks) or speciality planners.
Wire-O for working planners, pages rotate 360° and the journal lies completely flat. Thread-sewn hardback for premium gift planners that need to feel substantial. Perfect or PUR paperback for retail-grade planners at lower price points. We can advise on the best binding for your specific use, drop us a note with the planner's end use and we'll recommend.
For writing, compare 80 or 100gsm opaque and 80, 100 or 120gsm bookwove in the calculator. The heavier options give a more substantial page, but resistance to show-through and ink bleed depends on your pen and ink. Test a sample before ordering. The 130 to 170gsm papers are coated photo stocks, not specialist sketch or mixed-media paper.
Yes, we print covers in full CMYK plus optional foil blocking in gold, silver, white or any solid foil colour. For brand-precise colour, supply Pantone references in your spec and we'll match as closely as digital printing allows. For exact Pantone matches, foil blocking on a plain cloth or PPC base reproduces brand colour cleanly.
From 10 copies (25 for hardbacks). Pricing scales meaningfully at 50, 100, 250 and 500 copies, worth running the quote at a couple of quantities to find your sweet spot. For retail journal product we'd typically suggest a first run of 250 to 500 and reprinting based on sell-through.
Standard production takes 5 to 7 working days for paperbacks and 3 to 4 weeks for hardbacks, from proof approval. Delivery is additional. If you have a deadline, tell us before ordering so we can confirm what is achievable.
