From a single archival hardcover to a coil-bound field manual, here is what our Toronto book-printing studio designs, prints, and binds.
01
Lay-flat, archival, heirloom-grade
Lay-flat hardcover books sewn in 8- or 16-page signatures, so images never disappear into the spine. Wraps include image wrap, linen, leather, Arrestox, Fiscagoma, or exposed board. Add a slipcase, a ribbon bookmark, or head and tail bands.
02
Clean, classic, bookstore-ready
Paperbacks with a thicker cover creased and glued to the book block. The familiar trade-paperback feel, printed to gallery quality.
03
Light, fast, economical
Stapled booklets that lie reasonably flat and keep costs down at lower page counts.
04
Opens flat, folds back on itself
Spiral-bound books that lie completely flat. Optional clear covers and synthetic, waterproof paper for the field.
05
No inventory, infinite copies
Digital books for Kindle, iPad, Kobo and other e-readers — searchable, adaptive, and ready to distribute.
06
From manuscript to print-ready
Full graphic design and typesetting in InDesign and Illustrator — from a Word document, handwritten notes, or a raw manuscript to a finished, print-ready book.
Two guides written from the files we actually receive: how a cover is measured as one continuous sheet, and how an interior is built as one page per book page.
Make one with the AI Book Creator, or bring us your files or manuscript. Both end at the same presses.
One idea, typed in a sentence. The AI writes and illustrates every page; you approve each one; we print and ship the bound book.
Join the waitlistAsk for a quote and the print templates for your exact book come with it. Lay out, upload, approve a 3D proof, pay — every step online, and a printer reads every file before it prints. Seven steps; five are yours.
