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.

Made for your next chapter

From first volume to collected edition.

Your first collected volume

Bring chapters together in a paperback with a square spine. Choose the size and paper that work for your artwork.

Convention and online sales

Compare quantities for the same specification, then choose a run you can sell, store and replenish.

A special hardback edition

Give a collected story a rigid case, with optional sewn binding, foil or a dust jacket where the specification allows.

Small press and creator groups

Print an anthology or shared project. Agree a consistent trim, page order and approach to black-and-white artwork.

The detail

Preparing your manga for print

Linework and tones

  • Keep lettering clear at the final printed size.
  • Check fine screentones, gradients and large black areas carefully.
  • Leave enough space for artwork and text at the bound edge.

Paper and printing

  • Uncoated white paper is a useful starting point for mono artwork.
  • Compare colour insert pages with colour throughout.
  • Ask for samples to compare show-through, surface and feel.

Format and binding

  • A5 and B-format are starting points; custom trims are available.
  • Paperbacks from 10 copies; hardbacks from 25.
  • A short issue may need a booklet specification rather than a square spine.

Files and reading order

  • Supply interior pages individually in a PDF, in the intended sequence.
  • For right-to-left editions, confirm the binding edge and cover layout with us before finalising files.
  • Use the proof to check pagination, spreads, trim and lettering.
Questions

Manga Printing FAQ

How much does manga printing cost?

Page count, paper, colour, binding and quantity determine the price. Use the calculator above for your manga, then compare quantities for the same specification. Delivery and optional proofs are itemised separately.

How many manga copies can I order?

Paperbacks start at 10 copies and hardbacks at 25. Compare practical run sizes for your launch, convention or online shop. Each quotation is based on the book you configure.

What paper should I use for black-and-white manga?

Uncoated white paper is a useful starting point. Compare opacity, surface and the feel of a finished page using our sample pack. Fine linework, screentones and large black areas should be checked in a proof.

How should I prepare a right-to-left manga edition?

Confirm your intended reading direction with us before finalising the files. The binding edge, page sequence and front/spine/back cover arrangement need to agree. Reading direction is not selected by the calculator; send us the details for a file and production check.

Can I add colour pages to a mostly mono manga?

Yes. Set the number of mono and colour pages in the calculator. If your colour artwork can sit together, you can also compare a colour plate section. Confirm the page arrangement before submitting final files.

Can you print a short manga issue?

A short issue may suit a saddle-stitched booklet rather than a perfect-bound book. The calculator follows the physical rules for the selected binding. See booklet printing or ask us to check the format.

Can I make a hardback manga collection?

Yes. Switch the calculator to hardback to compare a printed case or cloth cover, binding and supported finishing options. Hardbacks start at 25 copies.

What files do I need to supply?

Supply a print-ready interior PDF and a separate cover file sized to the final trim, paper, page count and binding. Use our cover template generator and interior file checker. Check page order and lettering in the proof.
