Booklets (Saddle Stitched Booklets) are available in three finished sizes: Small (8.5" x 5.5") Medium (8.5" x 7" - not available in glossy paper), and Large (8.5" x 11"). If you want heavy covers (cardstock) we will need to print Books rather than Booklets.
Each sheet of paper has 4 pages on it, two pages on one side and two pages on the other side (for this reason, booklet artwork is comprised of sets of 4 pages: 8, 12, 16, 20, etc.) . For example, a large booklet containing 16 pages will be printed on 4 sheets of 11" x 17" paper, folded in half and stapled.
When setting up your print files be sure to make your pages the actual page size you want (do not set up 2 pages side-by-side). If you want a large booklet make the page size 8.5" wide x 8.5" tall.
If printing all pages in either color OR in Black & White (Grayscale) the pricing is simple. If you have a mixed document (printing a mix of color and grayscale) quoting gets a little more complex. Some of the black & white pages might print as color if the page has text or images that are RGB Black instead of CMYK Black. RGB Black is actually printed using colors, not black. If possible, design your product using CMYK mode and use black/grayscale images sparingly unless you know they are in CMYK mode (they are usually RGB).
