Bleeds for inside block
Block without bleedBlock with bleed
Bleeds for inside block

Bleed is an excess area of the graphic that will be trimmed during post-print processing. No essential graphic elements should be placed in this location.

Depending on the project, you can choose one of two options:

  • Block without bleed—Select this option if the background and graphic elements do not extend to the edge of the page.
  • Block with bleed—Select this option if your project`s background or graphic elements reach the edge of the page. In this case, a 3 mm bleed is required, which means that 6 mm (3 mm on each side) must be added to the net format. For example, if the final book format is 148 × 210 mm, the file should have a gross format of 154 × 216 mm (including bleed).

Book specification
Inside block printing type
Inside block printing type

This option allows you to specify how and with what technology the interior of your publication will be printed. Books Factory offers the following types:

  • Standard: High-quality colour printing (4+4), mono (1+1), and mixed (4+1). It is ideal for projects with demanding graphics, such as photo albums, reproductions of old photographs, or comics with deep blacks and solid fills. It stands out with high optical density and very sharp edges of the characters, observable under a microscope. It is suitable for printing on all the papers we use.
  • Economical Mono: Designed for printing works mainly of black text and simple black illustrations. It is more cost-effective than the standard variant. Best suited for publications and documents composed solely of text or text-heavy books with minimal, less detailed illustrations—without solid fills or high contrasts. The cost-effectiveness of this solution becomes evident with print runs of several hundred, especially with print runs in the thousands. Suitable only for printing on uncoated papers.
  • Economical Colour: Created for printing colour works and combining mono and colour pages. It is more cost-effective than the standard variant. It is intended for almost all publications and documents, except for very demanding albums containing large solid fills. The cost-effectiveness of this solution becomes apparent even with small print runs. Suitable for printing on most of the coated and uncoated papers we use.
You can read more about our capabilities and technical requirements in the article How to Prepare.
Level of Ink coverage
The work contains mainly text, charts and tables. Single, small photos are also acceptable. The option also applies to 2+2 printed works (from the CMYK palette). Total coverage with colours up to 20% counted within the ordered format.
