Stapled zines and booklets are with you in 3 working days, perfect bound books in 5 and hardbacks in 7, counted from approval of your print-ready artwork, with free tracked UK delivery. Lead times depend on run length and print spec — longer litho runs and premium cover finishes take longer — so if you're working to a hard deadline, tell us the date and we'll confirm we can hit it before you commit. On runs of 1–20 stapled or perfect bound copies we check your artwork thoroughly and send it straight to print; 21 copies and over, and every hardback, get a PDF proof to approve first.
We don't currently have an in-house designer but if jump on Instagram, LinkedIn or peopleperhour and search for 'designer for print', 'book designer' or 'artwork for children's book' there are thousands of super talented people waiting to hear from you.
ALL of our papers are FSC certified. We also have a range of 100% recycled papers too.
You can add the line 'Printed on FSC Papers' on the back cover or within the book.
If you are going for a longer print rum, 1000 copies+ then we will use our litho machine and your books will be printed using vegetable ink.
Yes. The more copies you print, the lower the price per book will be.
If you have say 20 different books going ahead together then it is also far cheaper for us to print all 20 in one go rather than 20 separate orders. With economies of scale and efficiencies of us only having to set-up the press and binding equipment once, it will offer a decent saving.
Right, let's go! First up digest all the info on this page.
Then take a few minutes to look through our portfolio or recent work and our YouTube channel. Both are packed with loads of previous books we have printed. If there is one that catches your email, send us thee spec on our Printed Project Builder or just email us directly on hello@exwhyzed.com
You'll need to upload the files using WeTransfer (it's super easy, you don’t need an account and it is free). In the comments box, do remind us of the print spec you are going for, the number of copies and the best address for us to deliver to. We will then give your artwork a free preflight check to highlight any potential issues and will email any recommendations before going to production.
We will work with you to ensure the artwork is correct.
Then once the order is booked it, we'll work our magic and transform your idea into print 🙂
