What is a print-file?
Print files are documents (preferably certified PDFs) containing the digital version of your book. These files are essential to ensure that your book actually looks exactly as you want it to. So if there are errors in the file, these will be reflected in the final book. The submission specifications provide an overview of all the points you need to bear in mind. In these blogs, we will delve a little deeper into the subject, so you will not be faced with any surprises later on. A designer or DTP specialist knows exactly how to create print files, but what if you’d like to do it yourself? For example, should you include an embossing in your print file? We will tell you what you need to bear in mind and, above all, why these points are so important to a printer.
