Nightmares of the Prepress Department: Common Mistakes Explained

Book production is a demanding process

Various difficulties and issues may occur while shaping a book. Sometimes, they are beyond the control of the client or the printing house. However, many can be prevented at an early stage.

All it takes is submitting a properly prepared project. With this in mind, we asked our prepress department (DTP) to compile a list of the most common mistakes encountered during the order submission stage.

Based on their insights, we created the first video in a new series. Thanks to the animation, you will quickly learn:

  • which file formats are unsuitable for book printing,
  • what pagination is,
  • how to avoid inserting blank pages.

Avoiding mistakes? See how easy it can be!
