BOOK AND BOOKLET PRINTING – HOW TO SET UP YOUR FILES
Creating a book can be a little more complicated than other projects. We see a lot of the same set-up mistakes on many book printing jobs, so here are some helpful tips to review when you’re preparing your materials:
USE ADOBE ACROBAT
We strongly recommend submitting your files as PDF’s. If you can prepare a print-ready PDF with the right specs not only will you save a lot of time and cost, you will have a lot more control over the final result. Variables like margins, bleeds, spreads, pageflow and other common challenges can all be addressed ahead of submitting your files for printing, so we can get the results you are looking for the very first time.
You can make PDF’s from just about any software you might be using. We are happy to answer questions about how to do this, and if you need more guidance we can set up a personal consultation to help you get on the right track.
WORKING WITH BLEEDS
Be sure to understand how bleeds work. This is essential for professional results. We’ll need 1/8″ of extra background for trimming and content must be at least 1/8″ in from the edge. The gutter or spine of the book needs to be considered as well, since each binding method has it’s own requirements for margins.
BOOK LAYOUT
Know how your book is actually going to be put together. Some production methods will require printer spreads and some will work with flat sheets. If you are making a saddle-stitched booklet or magazine, you will need pages in multiples of 4.
ADOBE INDESIGN
InDesign is the tool of choice for creating files to print a book. It’s worth learning to use if you want the ultimate creative and technical control over your project. You can download a free trial at Adobe’s website.
To avoid any confusion between reader spreads and printer spreads, please provide SINGLE PAGES with full bleeds, not reader spreads. This way we have the margins needed to properly order the pages into printer spreads. To learn more about page imposition click here.
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
If you’re making a portfolio, zine, or graphic novel and content is already in a group of Photoshop Images, it may be easiest just to work with those. Organize them by naming the files with their respective page numbers so that they automatically stay in order through the prep and printing.
Make sure the images are at least 300dpi. We make beautiful prints but we can’t print what isn’t there. Also avoid using compression for the best results with digital printing. PSD’s, TIFF’s, and JPEG’s are all fine to work with but be sure to save them at maximum quality. Even hi-res photos print poorly from a low quality JPEG. You can also save them as PDF’s right from Photoshop and combine them into one file which has a lot of advantages as noted above.
MICROSOFT WORD
Although other options are becoming more popular, many of our clients rely on Word for writing and editing text. While there are some important limitations, we can usually get good results from your Word files.
The best workflow is to make a PDF right from your native file on the computer you are using to create the piece in Word. Word files often have text reflow and other formatting issues when moving them from one computer to another. This is caused mostly by inconsistencies in fonts and page specs. Producing a PDF is the best way to avoid that frustrating situation and have a portable, properly-formatted file that will give you the results you are expecting. Once you know how to make good PDF’s you’ll never have to worry about it again.

DI Press – Presstek 52DI® Digital Offset Printing Press
Presstek 52DI is among the most efficient, productive and profitable digital offset printing presses ever brought to market in the 52cm landscape format size. This highly automated four-color digital offset press consistently produces sellable sheets in approximately 10 minutes with up to 300 lpi and FM screening on a broad range of substrate thicknesses up to 20pt, increasing capabilities, throughput, and profitability. Job profitability is 13 percent higher on a DI compared to a conventional press, and compared to a toner-based digital device, the DI press saves 50 percent on average per letter size page. The Presstek 52DI has a maximum sheet size of 20.47 x 14.76 inches and produces up to 10,000 sheets per hour.
A Smarter Way to Print: High Quality and Environmentally Friendly Digital Offset Printing
DI ® printing is the process of sending a digital file directly to a digital offset press. This process eliminates the production steps associated with film-based or other offline platemaking. Presstek DI presses allow printers to be more competitive in a market that continually demands faster turnaround time and shorter press runs at lower costs—without sacrificing quality. DI is an enabling process brought about by the interaction of three core Presstek technologies—laser imaging, thermal digital media, and a unique press design.
ProFire Excel Imaging
ProFire Excel, Presstek’s latest generation laser imaging technology, delivers exceptional image quality while dramatically reducing the possibility of moiré patterns in standard screen rulings. Fine details, color fidelity, minimum screen values, and large solids are produced with results that meet the most demanding offset printing needs.
ProFire Excel easily supports screen rulings up to 300 lpi and FM (stochastic) screening.
ProFire Excel combines all of the imaging components—infrared laser diodes, laser drivers, data electronics, and motion control— into one compact system. The foundation of ProFire Excel is a single image data board that controls the laser diodes. Each diode contains four uniquely addressable, 16-micron beams for high reliability, unmatched accuracy, and high-resolution imaging.
Thermal Plates
Presstek’s DI plates are environmentally friendly waterless plates that provide more consistent color, larger color gamut, better color saturation, lower dot gain and more detail. Without the use of fountain solutions there are fewer variables and printing is cleaner—both operationally and on the sheet; plus there is no ink/water balance to manage.
Presstek DI presses set the standard for digital offset printing by combining the high quality and versatility of offset with the automation and speed of digital printing. Presstek’s ProFire Digital Media is a key component of this superior performance and productivity. The combination of Presstek’s ProFire Digital Media and ProFire Excel imaging technology provides an optimized plate/laser system that yields the highest quality offset printing.
ProFire Digital Media is designed to work as a system with the laser imaging, ink-profiling, and plate loading features of Presstek DI presses. In conjunction with ProFire Excel imaging, ProFire Digital Media allows for a 16-micron imaging spot and supports up to 300-line screen and stochastic (FM) screening— with the push of a button.
The advanced imaging features of ProFire Digital Media result in superior rendering of details using any screen ruling—from highlight areas to shadows. Minimum screen values and subtle tonal transitions reproduce accurately and consistently. ProFire Digital Media reduces waste, saves time, and meets the most demanding quality requirements on runs up to 20,000 impressions.
Presstek DI plates are manufactured with an ink-accepting polyester base layer, a middle layer of titanium oxide, and a top layer of silicone. During imaging, the heat from lasers removes the top two layers of the plate, exposing the ink receptive polyester layer. Areas that remain covered with the top layer of silicone will repel the ink.
Unique Press Design
Presstek DI presses use Presstek’s Zero Transfer Printing (ZTP) process. With ZTP all four colors are laid down onto the sheet without any sheet transfer between colors. ZTP provides:
First sheet register
Precise registration, sheet-to-sheet, job-to-job
Sellable color within 20 sheets
Excellent ink coverage and reduced waste
A satellite V-shaped 5-cylinder system consists of two sets of double-diameter blanket cylinders and plate cylinders which rotate around a triple diameter impression cylinder. Each sheet is tightly held by the impression cylinder grippers and rotated twice without being transferred for precise four-color printing. The large diameter of the impression cylinder reduces paper curling as well as damage to the substrate.Click here to see it work .
Presstek DI presses use waterless offset inks, for faster drying and better solid ink coverage. The ink train has four form rollers; three chilled rollers cool ink, eliminating toning.
Ink keys are preset during ripping, based on color profiles and exposure area for each color in a specific job, meaning less intervention is required on the part of the press operator to generate the highest possible printing quality. Auto start-up pre-inks plates before sheets move through the press. The landscape format 52DI has 16 ink keys and the portrait format 34DI has 11.
ProFire Digital Media inside each double plate cylinder is automatically dispensed; plates are then tensioned. The press declutches, freeing plate cylinders to spin at 300 rpm during imaging.
Presstek’s ProFire Excel imaging unit precisely images all four cylinders at 2540 dpi in 4.5 minutes.
ProFire Digital Media spools contain enough material for 28 (Presstek 34DI) or 44 (Presstek 52DI) full size printing jobs; used plates are automatically transferred to a take-up area.
Once imaging has been completed, a two-step automatic plate cleaning is initiated. A vacuum then removes any remaining debris from the plate.
DI presses feature double-plate cylinders, with matching double blanket cylinders beneath. The bearer design assures consistent impression pressure. A V-shaped configuration radiates from a common impression cylinder.
The triple-sized common impression cylinder holds three sheets tightly, eliminating potential for misregistration because there is no gripper change. A sheet picks up four colors in two revolutions
A register board/push guide precisely shuttles stock to ensure accurate infeed. Proven feed systems accommodate a wide range of standard stocks, or even plastics, envelopes, and other specialty stocks, in calipers from .0024″–0.02″ (0.06–0.5 mm).
An infrared dryer expedites curing of waterless inks. An autoclean cycle prepares ink rollers, blanket, and plate cylinders for the next image. Total changeover takes about 10 minutes
Colour control is achieved using a densitometer or scanner to measure the control strip. Measurement results for each colour tell the printer whether to give more or less ink in a certain area. The print must match the original or the fixed system data as closely as possible. Sample prints are scanned and analysed against the original data. By fine-tuning the ink supply, the results come closer and closer to this colour model. Settings can then be stored in integrated software or recorded on computer tapes for optimal print and re-print runs. As soon as the prints satisfactorily match the original and the colours register perfectly, the real print run starts. However the press operator continually takes sample sheets to monitor and maintain ongoing colour and register throughout the run.
Offset printing is the most commonly used method today, and has many advantages over other forms of printing, especially when we need high and consistent image quality.
Color wheel
This is a process used for printing on a flat surface, using plates. An image is transferred to a offset plate which is chemically treated so that only image areas (such as type, colors, shapes and other elements) will accept ink. Water and ink is applied to the plate. Because of the chemical treatment, ink only “sticks” to the image areas, which reject the water. Areas without images reject the ink. The images with ink are transported then from the plate to the surface of blanket. The task of printing blankets that are made of special multi-layer rubber is to convey the image or illustration to the paper and this is repeating on every cardboard that passes through the printing machine. When we print full color job the cardboard is overprinted four times on four separate printing units with different colors.
offset printing “CMYK” rollers
Offset printing uses the process colour or four colour known as CMYK.
‘C‘ stands for Cyan (a colour in the blue/green spectrum),
‘M‘ stands for Magenta (a colour midway in the red/blue spectrum),
Mungkin beberapa dari Anda sudah tahu tentang istilah Loose Leaf. Loose Leaf atau yang dikenal dengan istilah “Kertas Binder” bagi mahasiswa ini sudah mendunia. Hampir semua negara menggunakannya dikalangan mahasiswa, bahkan siswa SMP atau SMA sudah mulai menggunakan “binder” ini sebagai pengganti buku tulis yang digunakan siswa SMP/SMA jaman sekarang.
SEJARAH LOOSE LEAF
Loose Leaf ini sebenarnya sudah lama ada dalam dunia pendidikan ataupun perpustakaan. Loose leaf dibentuk pertama kali pada tahun 1914 oleh seorang yang sangat berjasa pada bidang perpustakaan buku komputer di dunia , dia adalah Richard Prentice Ettinger. Beliau adalah pendiri Prentice Hall. Pada umur ke-19, dia menerima tugas yang menguntungkan dari Professor ahli perpajakan yang ada di Universitas Princeton. Tugas tersebut berupa menerbitkan buku yang telah ditulis oleh Professor tersebut ke dalam buku dan ditanggung dengan risiko penuh oleh Ettinger. Pada percetakan pertama, Ettinger sangat senang karena buku yang diterbitkannya (melalui penerbit Princeton University) laku keras, dan dia pun meminta kepada tim penerbit untuk mencetak gelombang kedua di penerbit yang berbeda. Pada saat gelombang percetakan kedua dari buku itu telah selesai, Kongres Amerika Serikat memberikan peraturan baru tentang perpajakan dari buku. Kongres tersebut menghasilkan keputusan bahwa buku itu telah ketinggalan jaman. Dengan hukum baru dari Kongres Amerika Serikat tersebut, Ettinger memiliki ide baru tentang memotong pinggiran dari kertas tersebut satu per satu, dan memberikan lubang pada pinggir kiri dari kertas tersebut. Dari potongan kertas satu per satu tersebut, dinamakan lah Loose Leaf. Loose dakan Bahasa Indonesia memiliki arti lepas, sedangkan leaf (daun) itu ditujukan untuk mengganti kata kertas. Sehingga, kalau kita gabungkan akan menjadi Loose Leaf. Setelah buku tersebut dipotong dan diberikan lubang dengan cara dibor, Ettinger menyatukan keseluruhan buku tersebut dengan menggunakan sebuah ring-binder. Walaupun dengan tenaga dan biaya yang mahal, kode perpajakan tersebut akan lebih mudah untuk diperbaiki karena tinggal mengganti selembar dari kumpulan kertas tersebut.
JENIS JENIS LOOSE LEAF
Loose leaf memiliki 2 buah varian, yaitu Wide Ruled dan College Ruled. Perbedaan dari kedua jenis tersebut terletak pada jarak antara baris dengan baris lainnya. Wide Ruled memiliki baris yang lebih lebar daripada College Ruled sehingga dapat menulis artikel menjadi lebih leluasa karena memiliki lebih banyak baris, sedangkan College Ruled digunakan untuk para mahasiswa/siswa dan orang yang memiliki bentuk tulisan yang besar.
Beberapa Loose Leaf memiliki banyak perbedaan dengan lainnya. Perbedaan tersebut terletak pada bidang ukuran, warna, jumlah baris, dan jumlah lubang. Tidak ada hal-hal khusus yang mengatur tentang loose leaf. Tetapi akan Saya jelaskan beberapa perbedaan tersebut.
Ukuran Loose Leaf
Ukuran Loose Leaf biasanya dapat dibilang sangat beragam, tergantung dari produsen yang menargetkan ukuran dari Loose Leaf tersebut. Biasanya Loose Leaf memiliki ukuran sebesar ukuran B5 (176 × 250 mm) dan A5 (148 × 210 mm).
Jumlah Lubang Loose Leaf
Jumlah lubang pada Loose Leaf tergantung besar kertas Loose Leaf itu sendiri. Secara umum, Loose Leaf itu sendiri. Secara umum, Loose Leaf yang berukuran B5 itu memiliki 26 lubang pada sisi kirinya dengan jumlah lubang lainnya, sedangkan utuk ukuran kertas A5 itu memiliki lubang 20 lubang pada tiap sisi kiri dari Loose Leaf dan memiliki jarak 6 mm antara satu lubang dengan lubang lainnya
Jumlah Baris Loose Leaf
Sama seperti jumlah lubang, jumlah baris pada kertas Loose Leaf juga tergantung besar kertas Loose Leaf itu sendiri. Secara umum, Loose Leaf yang berukuran B5 itu memiliki 36 baris, dan untuk ukuran A5 memiliki 30 baris
Warna Loose Leaf
Warna Loose Leaf tidak dapat ditentukan karena hal ini lebih tergantung ke tingkat kreatifitas sang pembuat Loose Leaf. Pada dasarnya, Loose Leaf merupakan kertas putih polos yang diberikan garis-garis yang memiliki jarak antar baris yang sama sehingga kita dapat menulis diantara garis-garis tersebut

Epson DirectPlate – Aluminum
Epson DirectPlate technology is an all-new high-resolution aluminum press plate, chemically coated to work with our standard Epson UltraChrome® HDR Ink technology. Capable of press resolutions up to 175 lpi, Epson DirectPlate technology is capable of press runs of up to 20,000 impressions. And no chemicals or messy processing is required. It doesn’t get any easier than this.
Epson Direct Plate technology will match or even exceed the final press quality you’re used to, while providing your printing business with a consistent and reliable true aluminum press plate workflow.
Based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon front-end RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking, etc. Normal Mode based on SuperFine – 1440 dpi. Plate Speeds are based upon a 13″ x 19″ plate size at 1440 x 1440 unidirectional printing. Plates sizes vary drastically depending on the content of the plate.
B Cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. A variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace cartridge” signal. Part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer. Ink is used for both printing and print head maintenance. All inks are used for both black and color printing.
C Ink lightfastness rating based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media displayed indoors under glass. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or lamination or properly store them. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.
D Additional plate sizes may be available. Contact IT Supplies if your Epson Aluminum Direct Plate size is not listed.

Macam-macam Ukuran Kertas. Kertas merupakan barang sehari-hari yang dapat kita jumpai, mulai dari buku-buku, majalah, surat kabar atau koran, kertas print atau fotocopy dan lain-lain semua terbuat dari kertas, namun seringkali kita tidak tahu macam-macam ukuran kertas itu sendiri, berikut beberapa ukuran kertas yang biasa kita jumpai serhari-hari:
Macam-macam ukuran kertas
Ukuran Kertas Seri A
Merupakan standard ukuran kertas internasional, ISO 216, berdasarkan standar Jerman DIN 476 standar. Seri A biasa digunakan untuk cetakan umum dan perkantoran serta penerbitan.
Ukuran kertas ISO semua didasarkan atas rasio aspek tunggal “akar 2″, atau kira-kira 1:1,4142. Dasar ukuran kertas ISO adalah A0 (“a nol”) yang luasnya setara dengan satu meter persegi; dibulatkan ke milimeter terdekat menjadi 841 kali 1.189 millimetres (33,1 × 46,8 in).
Setiap angka setelah huruf A menyatakan setengah ukuran dari angka sebelumnya. Jadi A1 adalah setengah dari A0 dan demikian seterusnya. Ukuran yang paling banyak digunakan adalah A4.
