COVER FINISHING CHOICES

Malloy Standard Cover Finishing Options: Gloss or matte layflat film lamination: The Malloy standard is nylon-based, 1.2 mil layflat film lamination. Precision Spot Gloss: Layflat gloss film lamination is applied to the cover or jacket and then a matte overcoating is applied on press to the areas of the cover that are intended to have a matte finish. It is called Precision because we are applying the matte over-coating on a press rather than a coater or a screen printing process and we have the ability to achieve very tight registration. Layflat film lamination with matte scuff-resistant treatment: Layflat gloss film lamination is applied to the cover or jacket and then a matte overcoating is applied on press to the entire cover which results in a durable, scuff-resistant, layflat matte finish. This offers the best scuff-resistance of all the matte finishes. Gloss or matte U.V. coating: Costs less than film lamination but is not as durable. Special Order or Outside Source: Matte polypropylene film lamination: This special order film is best suited for dust jackets as it is not layflat. Post linen embossing: Layflat gloss or matte film lamination is applied and immediately embossed with a linen finish using a special roller. Since this process requires special equipment that we do not have at Malloy, we have an outside source that provides this service. Other in-house options: With a full range of colors to choose from, this can be used on cloth or in combination with U.V. or film lamination on hard cover and soft cover books. A stamping die is necessary. Embossing or debossing: A process which utilizes a metal die in the shape of the type and / or graphic to create a raised impression (embossing) or depression (debossing). A die is necessary. Foil stamping: Definitions: Film is laminated to the cover or jacket by passing under pressure between two rollers while heat is applied to activate the adhesive on one side of the film. Film lamination is our highest quality and most durable coating. The process of applying a liquid chemical coating and immediately exposing the coated sheet under ultraviolet light to cure the coating. A surface that is smooth and shiny. A low-gloss finish with little or no reflective quality. Resistant to curling. The ability of film lamination to resist scuffing on the surface of the film. All films will scuff to some degree. The scuffing will be more apparent and noticeable on covers that are dark colors.

BENEFITS TO PRINTING YOUR COVERS, JACKETS, AND INSERTS AT MALLOY Save timeone stop shopping Save moneyno shipping cost to get your covers to Malloy Save resourceswe usually print fewer excess covers for bindery set-up Cost savings: When Malloy prints your covers, jackets, or inserts you pay for only as many as the number of bound books you order from us. When furnishing color components to Malloy from another source, you purchase additionals to account for spoilage, make-ready, and overs. In addition, you have to pay for freight to transport them to Malloy. Compare your other sources price, including all those additional costs, to Malloys price, and there is a good chance you will save money printing your covers, jackets, or inserts at Malloy. Variety of Enhancements: Choose from a number of different treatments to give your covers and dust jackets the special effect you are looking for: Gloss and matte UV coating Gloss and matte lay-flat film lamination Scuff-resistant lay-flat matte film lamination Precision Spot Gloss Foil Stamping Embossing Value and economy: Our standard film lamination, both gloss and matte finish, is a lay-flat product. One-stop shopping: You have one purchase order, less administrative time, and you use fewer resources in the process when you print your cover, dust jacket, or color insert at Malloy. Schedule control: When we print both the text and color components for a book, we have complete control of the production schedule. Placing all elements of the job in our hands is critically important when time is of the essence. Hassle-free relationship: Nobody is perfect! Not Malloy, not any printer. If we discover a problem with a component that is supplied to us, we stop production, contact you, and wait while you resolve the problem with the printer. The same problem found on a component printed at Malloy will be fixed without delay and without any bother to you.

eBook Conversion and Distribution

SIMPLE AND EASY Malloy offers a simple process through which publishers can have a print book converted to an eBook. The publisher selects a book to be converted and the desired file formats, and Malloy takes it from there. OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS PUBLISHER After making the decision to have an eBook converted, the publisher starts the process by visiting myMalloy (www.myMalloy.com) and selecting Make an eBook. The order form clearly displays pricing information, so the publisher can make selections and easily see the price of each selection. The publisher will submit an order by: selecting a book to be converted from a list of titles previously printed or currently being printed at Malloy, or uploading new text and cover files to be converted selecting the eBook conversion type ePub, Mobipocket, and Universal PDF selecting eBook retailers Apple, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Sony, and Return to Publisher entering metadata (information about your eBook that is used by retailers) if choosing distribution to any retailers After completing the order form, the publisher will have an opportunity to review the selections and make any necessary changes. Once everything looks correct, the order can be submitted. MALLOY After receiving an order, Malloy locates and organizes the print files, combines the files with the metadata, and sends everything to our conversion partner. The conversion process takes approximately 10 business days. If the publisher has asked Malloy to act on their behalf to distribute files to retailers, separate files will be optimized for each retailer during the conversion process. Once the conversion process is complete, Malloy will notify the publisher by email that files are ready. The email will include a direct link to a secure location in myMalloy, where the publisher can access their eBook files. The online location for downloading files is available only to people with access to the publishers information in myMalloy. If eBook distribution has been requested, Malloy will transmit the converted files, along with the relevant metadata, to the end retailer. The distribution process typically takes two to three business days. [Note: Once Malloy has distributed files successfully to the retailers, those retailers may take additional steps, such as verifying the copyright ownership for the files. That process is controlled entirely by the retailers and its duration is unpredictable. It is not uncommon for several weeks to elapse before the retailers make an eBook file available for sale.] If the publisher has earned extended payment terms through their credit history, Malloy will send an invoice for the charges incurred throughout the process. PUBLISHER The publisher can download copies of all converted files right away. The publisher can distribute the files to retailers if they have established sales agreements and if Malloy has not already performed that step for them; or they can place the files on their own website for sale or distribution.

When to Test Electronic Files

SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR FILES TESTED IN ADVANCE? In the early days of electronic prepress it was common practice for publishers to send a test file to the printer for the purpose of making sure the publisher was creating PostScript files the printer could work with. The printer would evaluate the test file and provide the publisher with feedback that would be used to develop the final files to be submitted to the printer for the print-run. That practice made sense ten years ago when we were all learning to work with electronic files; today it is no longer required. It is not necessary to have your files tested every time you submit a title to Malloy, particularly if you have successfully submitted problem free print ready PDF files to us before. However, there are occasions when running a test may be a good idea, so here is some information to consider when deciding whether or not to send a test file to Malloy: Who should have their files tested at Malloy prior to final submission? First time publishers Customers new to Malloy Customers with special projects that are different from the books you normally print at Malloy Why have your files tested? We can make sure the file is constructed properly and all the elements are in place for a problem free final output. When in the file preparation process should you have your files tested at Malloy? Well in advance of completing the final print ready PDF files. So that you dont waste time and resources preparing files that will not work at Malloy, we encourage you to send us a portion (approximately 8 pages or so) of your book. If you do this a few weeks prior to the time you plan to send final files to Malloy, we will have enough time to test the files and provide you with input that might be important in preparing the PDF files. If we receive the test file on the eve of when the job is supposed to go into production, the time required to test the files and make corrections may negatively impact the printing schedule. If you have any questions about test files, please dont hesitate to call your Sales or Customer Service Representative.

Fact Sheet Motor Freight Shipments

WE MANUFACTURE AND SHIP OVER 35 MILLION BOOKS PER YEAR! We have excellent relationships with many national motor freight companies, both short haul and long haul carriers. We look for the most efficient and economical way to move your books to their final destination in a timely manner. When possible we consolidate freight for multiple customers in order to reduce costs and get the shipment to its destination faster. Consolidating the freight for multiple customers reduces the cost to each individual customer Publishers often use the same distribution facility which allows us to consolidate shipments and save time and money We receive discounts on freight from many of the freight companies we utilize and pass on the entire discount to our customers. Our carriers utilize Czarlite base rates. We offer online tracking of shipments. We can often hold your shipment a few days after completion in order to consolidate with other shipments to fill a truck (FTL) and, as a result, your books will arrive sooner and for less money than if they were shipped alone (LTL) immediately upon completion. AVERAGE DELIVERY TIMES Average time to the East Coast 1-2 days for full truckload (FTL) and for less than truckload (LTL) Average time to the West Coast 3-4 days for FTL, 3-5 days for LTL IMPORTANT MOTOR FREIGHT TERMINOLOGY Bill of lading: contract between the shipper and the carrier for the transportation of goods. Consolidate: ship multiple titles for one or more customers together in a truck to geographically similar destinations Drop ship: shipments to various locations but not the bulk shipment Free on board (F.O.B.): indicates the place where the responsibility for expense and risk for goods is passed from seller to buyer. For example, FOB Ann Arbor means that the buyer is responsible for freight charges and that ownership of the goods passes to the buyer after the shipment is loaded. FTL: full truckload, most economical and fastest way to ship your bulk shipment LTL: less than truckload Pro number: 9-digit identification number assigned to each LTL shipment

Getting your book ready to go to the printer: At Malloy we appreciate the time, effort, and work that goes into your book before we get the chance to become involved. Here are some topics that we often get questions about and where to find the answers: If you have not already had a quotation prepared on your title, this would be the time to have one done. If your specifications are not firm yet, we can still quote on your tentative specifications and offer prices for alternative specifications as well. Go to our website and the Quote Request page. ISBNs and bar codes - Malloy has a Fact Sheet dedicated solely to this topic. Preparing print-ready files - The digital file formats that we support at Malloy are most likely the same formats most other printers support and accept as well. We prefer PDF files for the text and native application and PDF files for the color component (cover, dust jacket, color insert, etc.) For indepth information please review the Prepress General Guidelines for Electronic Files. Design and production for your book - Working with a designer or production person can make the job of transforming your manuscript or Word document to book much easier. If you need help preparing print-ready files, your Sales Rep can refer you to a design or production professional. Building the specifications for your book: In order to make your book the way you want it, the printer has to know many details about your book. A few examples of specifications are: what it looks like, trim size and number of pages, what kind of paper the text and cover will be printed on, if you want to see and approve proofs, where you want the books shipped, and how you want them shipped. Our Order Form contains a place for you to enter most of the specifications that we will follow as we manufacture your book. It may seem like a lot of detail but it is all necessary information to insure that the final product is what you want, when you want it, and where you want it. Please refer to the Glossary (coming soon online) for help in understanding the meaning of the many terms we use in book printing and binding. Your book is ready, now what?

Preparing Files for Print

As technology in printing and publishing changes, the role and responsibility of the graphic designer also changes. Prepress and production have become part of the creative process, whether we like it or not. Recently I surveyed print providers and prepress technicians to find out how graphic designers can better prepare their files. Ive summarized a few highlights from the survey. First things first: Use design software (Adobe Creative Suite, QuarkXPress). I know, I know, youre a professional, you would NEVER design a poster in a word processing program or worse, a presentation software program! It sounds crazy, but Ive seen it! If you save a document from Word as a PDF, the black type turns into rich black automatically. Rich black will produce a printing plate for the four process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) even though you only used black. This translates to a nightmare on press. have created outlines to make sure that the font is no longer associated with the document. When submitting files to your print provider, you should include both the outlined file and the editable file, along with the fonts. Including fonts with your files is easy if youre using the packaging function in InDesign or the collect for output function in Quark. What about packaging fonts in Photoshop or Illustrator? If you use these programs youll need to manually collect the font.

Fonts in Placed Graphics

If you place an Illustrator graphic in your InDesign layout and the graphic has fonts attached to it, youll need to manually package the font. How do you know which font? Use the Find Font function in InDesign. It shows you the status and type of fonts used in the document. As you can see from this screen shot, Im missing two fonts (Amphora and Sanderson) in a placed graphic. InDesigns Find Font feature shows you the font architecture (OpenType, PostScript, TrueType) and the fonts that are in the placed graphics (which are missing by the way!).

Fonts
Fonts are a touchy subject with prepress professionals and print providers. Use quality fonts and dont forget to include them with your packaged file. There are so many free fonts on the Web, but just because theyre free doesnt mean theyre intended for high-end output. There are four different types of font architecture: OpenType, PostScript (also known as Type 1), TrueType and dfont (Mac only beware of these for high-end output). Your print provider can provide information on how to avoid common font issues. The printer and their prepress department know what theyre talking about, they can tell you horror stories. The last thing you want to see on your embossed and foil-stamped business card is the dreaded Courier. Yes, Ive seen it.

Speaking of Placed Graphics

Just because you can see your placed graphic in InDesign or Quark or Illustrator does not mean it will be there when you send it to the printer. Youll need to include your linked graphics, and the best way to do that is to use your software. In Quark youll use the Collect for Output feature. In InDesign, youll use the Package feature. If you used an image (photo) in an Illustrator layout, youll have to embed the photograph (Links panel flyout menu > Embed Image) or manually collect the image before sending your file to the printer. Photographs should be 300 ppi effective resolution, and avoid enlarging placed graphics in your page layout program more than 20 percent either way.

Outlining Fonts
One way of avoiding font issues is to outline fonts. Once a font is outlined, it is non-editable so be sure you save a copy that is NOT outlined so you can make changes. Tip: use the -OL in the outlined file name, this makes it easy to tell which version is outlined and which is real text: Mozart Poster.ai Mozart Poster-OL.ai Keep in mind that if you outline large bodies of type, it can lead to larger file size and increased RIP time. If using InDesign or Illustrator, use the Find Font (Type > Find Font) feature AFTER you

Name that File!

Name your files with meaningful names. It helps to keep things organized on your own computer, and it helps when a prepress technician is trying to navigate through your files. Avoid using special characters: !@#$%^&*() and use file names that make sense. It will personalize your job. How many files titled business cards.ai do you have on your computer? How about iStock845316_290. jpg? Wouldnt it be better to use Donegan Business Cards 7-09.ai or Autumn Leaves-300ppi.psd?

To Bleed or Not to Bleed

If your design requires color to extend past the trimmed edge youll need to set up your document

to bleed. Set up your document to the trim size and make sure you use the correct bleed amount. Most presses require 1/8 bleed, and the best place to set this up is the Document Setup dialog box in InDesign. Illustrator CS4 includes the ability to set your document up with a bleed. Show your guides and pull the color beyond the document trim (look for the red guides in Illustrator and InDesign). If you want a PDF to show crop marks and bleed settings, check the box in Marks and Bleeds (the bleed measurement will automatically show up if you set up your document properly). Do you have spreads in your document that require a bleed? Ask your printer if you should create a non-facing page document to add the necessary bleed.

Swatch or click on the trash can in the Swatches panel. You can delete any unused colors, including CMYK, but you cannot delete Registration (but dont use Registration for design elements!) To delete the unused colors in Quark: Click on the colors and click on the trash can to delete. You cannot delete CMYK or Registration in Quark.

Printing is a Process
If you develop an understanding of the printing and production process, it will help you become a better designer. Talk to the people who work in the prepress department. Ask them about color management, PDF creation, preflighting and anything else that you might do to help your jobs print to your specifications. If you spent an hour observing in the pressroom and the bindery, you would learn what to avoid. Asking questions is the best way to learn.
Lorraine Donegan is an Associate Professor in the Graphic Communication Department at Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo, California and has worked in the eld of graphic design and production since 1990. One of her teaching goals is to link design with technology, preparing students to understand the language and role of the graphic designer, the print provider and the nal product. She has spoken at conferences in San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Chicago and New York City on the issues of design and production.

Delete Unused Colors

Files will fail preflight if they include unwanted spot colors and redundant separations (multiple references to the same spot color). I recommend you confirm your Pantone (spot) colors are consistent by checking your Colors or Swatches panels in your page layout software. Make sure you intend to pay ($) for every spot color listed (or convert them to CMYK if you didnt intend to print extra colors). To delete the unused colors in InDesign & Illustrator: Swatches panel (fly-out menu) > Select all Unused (the unused color swatches will be selected) then use the flyout menu to Delete

Press Sheet Layout Guidelines for Component Printers Supplying Printed Covers to Malloy
The following specifications must be followed for printed covers that will be bound at Malloy: On the head & foot of the book an additional .125" must be allowed beyond the untrimmed edge of the signatures. This additional material is needed to facilitate our book binding process. Please provide the following allowances: Trimmed Book Spine Height 7.00 7.25 7.50 7.75 8.00 8.25 8.50 8.75 9.00 9 00 9.25 9.50 9.75 10.00 10.25 10.50 10.75 11.00 Untrimmed Signature Height 9.75 9.75 9.75 9.75 9.75 9.75 9.75 9.75 9.75 9 75 9.75 11.50 11.50 11.50 11.50 11.50 11.50 11.50 Head Allowance 1.375 1.250 1.125 1.000 0.875 0.750 0.625 0.500 0.375 0 375 0.250 1.000 0.875 0.750 0.625 0.500 0.375 0.250 Foot Allowance 1.625 1.500 1.375 1.250 1.125 1.000 0.875 0.750 0.625 0 625 example on next page l t 0.500 1.250 1.125 1.000 0.875 0.750 0.625 0.500

The generic formula for the head allowance is as follows:

Head Allowance = (((untrimmed signature height - 0.25) - trimmed book spine height) / 2) + 0.125

The generic formula for the foot allowance is as follows:

Foot Allowance =(((untrimmed signature height - 0.25) - trimmed book spine height) / 2) + 0.375

Fact Sheet RepKover

A LAY-FLAT BINDING THAT ENHANCES THE QUALITY OF YOUR SOFT-COVER BOOK RepKover is a type of lay-flat binding, licensed and administered by Otabind International. When a RepKover book is closed, it looks like a perfect bound book. When it is open the spine of the cover floats free from the text, allowing the book to lie flat. RepKover is commonly used as a less expensive alternative to mechanical binding and case binding, as well as an enhancement for perfect binding. REPKOVER SPECIFICATIONS Spine Height: Minimum: 6 Maximum: 14"

Minimum applies to rough trimmed cover. Finished size may be smaller depending on final trim and press equipment utilized on the job. Flat Cover Width: Spine Bulk: Text Stock: Cover Stock: Minimum: 8 Minimum: 1/4" Maximum: 24 Maximum: 1-1/2"

Coated or uncoated paper. 10 pt. or 12 pt. C1S is recommended. 10 pt. or 12 pt. C2S is also an option. We do recommend using 12 pt. in higher bulking books because of the remote possibility that the cover material may crease along the spine. This would be a cosmetic problem if it did occur and would not affect the durability of the binding. Talk to your Sales or Customer Service Representative about the options that will work for your title. Film lamination and UV Coating are options. Film lamination is strongly recommended but not required. We caution against the use of UV coating on dark covers because the coating may crack to white along the scores. If printing on C-2 or C-3, the minimum gutter margin is 0.875. Milled spines are required. It is possible to commercial perforate RepKover jobs. We use PUR glue in our RepKover binding process. PUR glue provides a stronger and more flexible binding than conventional hot and cold glues.
