Color gloss printing for a custom cocktail recipe book?

Tags: #<Tag:0x00007fa498122fc0>

Hi! Does anyone have any recommendations or preferences for getting large quantities of printing work done? Either within UK/EU or elsewhere.

I remember reading the blog post from The Aviary when they self-published awhile back and I know printing can be expensive, but I’m just trying to print (and cut probably) 20 copies of a ~50 page cocktail book, so hoping I can do it cheapish.

I’ll be doing the binding myself! Just need to find a printer…

thanks! These looks promising.

A few companies I reached out to in the UK only do printing + binding, and when I asked for them to print and not bind they told me it was a bespoke service that they can’t offer. :cry:

My local printer quoted me roughly £0.50 per page, which is fine for making one book but not two dozen (like £700+). So getting offset litho pricing from Calverts could be perfect.

Otherwise I’ll just get full printing+binding done somewhere else for cheaper and rip the binding off and re-bind.
