After months of writing and layout, you naturally want to know: how long does it take before your book is printed? Especially with a small print run, it is nice to have a realistic picture of the timeline. In this blog, we outline the key steps and give you an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat to expect. <\/p>\n\n

The preparatory work: submitting and checking files<\/h2>\n\n

Everything starts with submitting your files. As soon as they are received, they are checked for technical points such as bleed, cover, and resolution. If you submit print-ready files directly, this process is quick. If you still need help or corrections, it will take a little more time. <\/p>\n\n

Test sample as a control<\/h3>\n\n

Many authors opt for a sample copy. This way, you see exactly what your book looks like on paper and can still adjust any details. Requesting a sample copy takes extra time, in principle about twice as long. <\/p>\n\n

The printing process<\/h3>\n\n

For small print runs, modern printing techniques are often used. The production time is usually the same, but with extra options such as spot UV, it can take slightly longer. <\/p>\n\n

Shipping and delivery<\/h3>\n\n

After production, the books are carefully packaged and shipped. You usually receive the books the next working day. <\/p>\n\n

Finally<\/h3>\n\n

De exacte levertijd wordt altijd pas bepaald op het moment dat de bestanden akkoord worden bevonden door ons.<\/p>\n\n
