Paperback book printing, bound and finished in our own Exeter bindery.
Whether it is a novel, a poetry collection, a manual or a title you are selling yourself, a perfect bound paperback is the format readers expect to hold. Choose your trim and paper, then a laminated cover in gloss or matt, with French flaps or spot UV if the design earns them. Thread-sewn binding is there for easier opening and repeated use. Print from 10 copies to a few thousand, priced live per copy, with a free digital proof before we print.
Five standard paperback trims, or any height and width to the millimetre. Portrait, landscape or square.
Perfect bound as standard, upgraded to PUR automatically when the paper needs it, or thread-sewn for books that must open more easily. A laminated cover in gloss or matt, with foil, spot UV or French flaps if the design earns them.
Uncoated book papers for novels and memoirs, coated for photographs. The preview page shows the stock in its own shade.
Black and white, colour or a mix. Perfect bound paperbacks run from 24 pages, in twos; sewn ones in fours.

Every run size from 10 copies is priced live, with a free digital proof before we print.

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!
