The problem with automatic quoting systems is that they force your book into the format
they want. You're not a cookie, so why put your book through the cookie cutter process.

CAN I PROVIDE PDF FILES AND BARBOSSA BOOK PRINTING JUST PRINT THE BOOK?
Absolutely. While our preference is to oversee a book printing project from start to finish to ensure optimal results, we are also open to considering any "book printing files" you can provide for your project.
However, before you embark on creating numerous jpg or Photoshop files for what you think will work in your book printing project, it's important to note that not all files are suitable for printing. Moreover, assuming that creating your own files will necessarily lower costs might not always hold true.
Poorly created and supplied book printing files from a client can actually generate as much work as creating new files from scratch for a book printer. Therefore, if you intend to provide your own files, it's crucial to ensure they meet certain specifications. Specifically, they should be 300 DPI, CMYK, and correctly sized with 2.3mm offset crop marks and 3 to 5mm bleed.
If your book primarily consists of text, we also recommend dedicating more time to crafting error-free copy and entrusting the book design and typesetting work to us.
With Barbossa Book Printing in Melbourne, you can rest assured that your project will receive the attention to detail and expertise it deserves.

Can you have a printed book proof?
Certainly! At Barbossa Book Printing Melbourne, we offer the option to produce printed book proofs alongside our bulk Melbourne book printing services. This includes the printing and binding of singular softcover book proofs prior to bulk production. Whether you're considering a quote for 100 or 1000 books, if you also desire to inspect a bound book proof before proceeding with bulk printing, we're more than happy to accommodate your book printing proof request.
When requesting your Melbourne book printing quote, simply indicate your preference for a bound book printing proof, and we'll ensure it's included in the formal quote.
B&W Vs Colour Pages in digital, vs offset book printing
When it comes to printing options at Barbossa Book Printing Melbourne, we offer both digital and offset book printing services.
In digital printing, which is ideal for shorter book printing runs, we can provide individual quotes for both colour and black-and-white book printing pages. This means that if your Melbourne book printing project consists of 160 black-and-white pages and 32 color pages interspersed, we will tailor your Melbourne quote accordingly.
However, this flexibility in book print pricing does not extend to offset quantity book printing. Nevertheless, offset book printing tends to be more cost-effective for larger print quantities compared to digital printing. At Barbossa Book Printing Melbourne, we ensure that you receive the most suitable printing solution for your project, whether it's digital or offset, to meet your budget and quality requirements.
Book Printing Time Frames
When it comes to printing books, the time frames can vary depending on the book binding method. For PUR Bound and Perfect Bound books, you can expect the printing and binding process to take around two weeks, with dispatch usually occurring within seven to ten working days. Saddle Stitched books, on the other hand, can be produced in a quicker timeframe, typically within four to seven working days.
If you require a physical proof of your bound book, it's important to factor in additional time for that as well. Planning ahead is key, especially if your project has tight deadlines.
For those in Melbourne looking to print their books, it's worth noting that our book printing services operate locally, ensuring faster turnaround times without the delays associated with international shipping. So, whether you're in need of PUR Bound, Perfect Bound, or Saddle Stitched books, our Melbourne-based book printing services have you covered.
The book printing process
If we are not designing or typesetting your Melbourne book printing file for print, then after your book cover design and book formatting are complete, you should then be ready for the book printing process. If we quoted your book's design and typesetting, then we have likely already quoted your book printing too, and we would have determined if the quantity is suited to digital or offset printing.
The book printing process is then, print quote, print quote acceptance. Then any design work if applicable. Then we invoice the book printing and the client makes payment. Once payment has been received, we'll check your book printing art file and send you a PDF Proof. You then check thebook printing PDF proof and either approve the file or make alterations. Once that PDF proof is approved, we can print a bound proof book if that was already agreed to. You can then check the actual bound proof book and either approve to proceed or advise otherwise. Once your book proof is approved to proceed, we'll put your books into print production and advise back an ETA. We'll then track your Melbourne Book Printing through to delivery and we'll ask you how we did on quality and service once we know your books are delivered.
