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.

B-format and A5 are useful starting points. Check your longest lines at the chosen type size before deciding: a narrower page can introduce unwanted line breaks. Our book size guide helps you compare trims.
Set the final trim and margins before typesetting. Keep intentional line breaks, indentation and blank pages in your interior PDF, with fonts embedded. Review the proof at the printed size, especially long lines and poems that continue onto another page.
A short poetry pamphlet may suit saddle stitching rather than a square spine. The choice depends on page count and paper. Compare booklet printing or zine printing, and ask us to check the specification if you are unsure.
Yes. Bring the poems into one final interior PDF with consistent page size, credits and contents. Check each contributor name and the agreed sequence before approving the proof. This page prices the printing and binding of your prepared collection.
