We prefer to work with PDF files because they preserve the format and layout of your documents, images, and headers during production and review. This ensures that everything stays in place, keeping your marketing materials professional and accurate.

To get the best print quality, scan your images based on how you want to print them: 1. For same size printing, scan at 300dpi. 2. For twice the original size, scan at 600dpi. 3. For large pictures resized to half, scan at 300dpi and resample after resizing. Following these guidelines ensures high-quality marketing materials.

Our printing is Digital Toner based, so doesnt need large setup times and runs.

The binding times vary as to time of the year and production loads, But normally Hard Bound books can take one - two weeks. Near Christmas the times can be longer, up to three weeks Perfect binding takes approx a week depending on book quantity, Coil and Saddle stitch are about the same time or less.

We recommend the following margin settings to ensure your book is professionally formatted and easy to read: - For books with fewer than 125 pages: at least 3/4" margins on all sides. - For books with 125 pages or more: 1" margins on the left and right sides, and increased top margins for headers. - For thicker books: at least 1" spine margins for durability and readability. Following these guidelines ensures a professional look and a great reading experience.

A: At Dmtpublishing, with over 25 years of experience in the industry, we understand that choosing the right type of paper for your print project can significantly impact the final product. Here are our recommendations based on the type of project:

1. Family History Books: We suggest using 24lb paper for family history books. This type of paper is more opaque, ensuring that the text and images do not bleed through to the other side, providing a clean and professional look.

2. Children's Books: For more robust and durable books, like children's books, we recommend using 70lb paper. This thicker paper choice can withstand frequent handling and provides a substantial feel.

3. Basic Documents and Manuals: For basic text documents and manuals, 20lb paper is an economical and efficient choice. It is thinner, which makes it a cost-effective option for large volumes of print.

4. Specialty Projects: Many papers come in different grades of whiteness and texture. Depending on the specific needs of your project, whether it be a high-quality brochure, a sleek business report, or a detailed plan, we offer a variety of paper grades that cater to these requirements. Our team at dmtpublishing is always available to provide tailored advice based on your specific project needs, ensuring that you achieve the best possible results.
