The Lebone Litho experts understand the challenges and triumphs that come with self-publishing. Our expertise in full-colour commercial litho sheet-fed, web-fed, and digital printing will make your book stand out in quality and appeal. 

Here are some helpful tips to help you along the exciting self-publishing journey!

How Lebone Can Help You

The first step to easier self-publishing is to understand the ins-and-outs of the printing process. With your input, your Lebone Litho team will handle every aspect of production—taking that stress off your shoulders. We’ll bind, die-cut, foil and UV varnish your pages, resulting in polished, professional print copies you’ll be proud to see your name on. 

With a holistic approach to handling your precious words, we can ensure that each book meets your high-quality standards. 

Pre-Print Preperation

We’ll help you choose the right paper to enhance the look and feel of your book—a huge part of the end-user sales process. We offer various options, including matte, glossy and textured finishes. 

Next, we’ll look at a dust cover. According to a survey by The Book Smugglers, 45% of readers admitted that the book cover is a primary factor in their purchasing decision!

At the end of the day, a well-designed dust cover is like nectar to a sunbird – it attracts and engages. We will take your professionally crafted design and reproduce it in impeccable quality. 

Printing Magic

This step is where we take your book to the next level. Our high print quality will set your book apart from others in the bookstore. How? We use cutting-edge printing technologies that guarantee crisp text and vibrant images. 

The Print Industries of America reported that 67% of print buyers prioritise print quality over other factors. This means that ensuring that your book is printed to the highest standards can significantly impact its success.

The Professional Printing Difference

Partnering with a professional printing company, like Lebone Litho, provides you with the expertise and support needed for successful self-publishing. 

This includes determining the size of your print run based on your budget and market demand for your particular genres, which is essential for managing costs and inventory. 

A previously mentioned study showed that authors who use professional services can see a 40% increase in book sales. With decades of experience, our dedicated team will guide you through every step, ensuring your vision is realised.
