Most artists choose to make art prints in one of 4 ways: That means you must learn how to make prints of your art. If you do not have enough content, you must add blank pages.If you want to make money as a professional artist you must ‘scale’ your art business. For example, if you are ordering 32 pages, all 32 boxes must be filled. Completing your orderīefore you can complete your order, you must make sure all page placeholders have been completed. The spine will also need a 0.125' bleed at the top and bottom. If you do not upload a print file for your spine it will be left blank. The spine depth is calculated and displayed in the shopping cart.

If you choose perfect binding you have the option to upload the spine as a separate print file. Our dynamic ordering system is smart enough to know when a limit has been reached, and will automatically switch to the required binding option. The opposite is true if there are too few pages for perfect binding to work. This is because there comes a point where the combined paper thickness is too much to effectively staple or stitch together, and will instead need to be held together by adhesive (otherwise known as 'perfect binding'). These available binding options are entirely dependent upon the number of pages and paper weight selected for your order. The binding options available for art books are: saddle stitched or stapled, and perfect bound. Please do not include any important content within this area. We ask for a 0.125' bleed on all art books. Your cover is made up of four pages - a front cover, an inside front cover, a back cover, and an inside back cover.

You can upload your files in a way that suits you - as single pages or spreads, individual files for each page, or as a single combined file.
