Everything You Need to Know Before You Print

  • What’s the best binding option for novels vs. workbooks?

    For novels and memoirs, perfect bound is the best choice. It gives your book the polished look of bookstore titles, with a flat spine that holds up to repeated reading. For workbooks, manuals, or guides, spiral/coil-bound works best. This style lies flat, making it easier for readers to write, reference, and flip through quickly.


    Summary: Perfect bound is best for novels; spiral/coil bound is best for workbooks.

  • Can I order hardcover books in small quantities?

    Yes. With Prestige Color, you can order hardcover books in short runs. This is ideal if you’re testing a new release, printing a limited edition, or simply want a durable, premium option without committing to a large order.


    Summary: Hardcover book printing is available in small quantities.

  • How long does book printing in Lancaster, PA take?

    Most book printing projects in Lancaster, PA, can be completed in days, not months. Digital printing allows for quick turnaround on smaller runs, while offset printing ensures larger projects are finished on time with consistent quality. Turnaround depends on page count, binding style, and quantity, but you’ll always know your timeline up front.


    Summary: Book printing in Lancaster, PA, typically takes a few days for small runs and longer for larger offset projects.

  • What’s the difference between perfect bound and saddle stitched?

    Perfect-bound books have a flat, square spine and are glued along the edge—ideal for novels, catalogs, or longer works. Saddle-stitched books are stapled along the fold, making them slimmer and more cost-effective—ideal for programs, booklets, or shorter publications.


    Summary: Perfect bound = glued spine for longer books; saddle stitched = stapled spine for shorter booklets.
