A print interior that reads like a book, not a printed document.
In the print studio, choose the format, page system and core typography for your print edition. epubio shows the result in context and keeps the interior and cover on the same book state.
Typesetting organises content for printed pages: margins, type, line spacing, chapter openings and page numbers must work together. A sound template speeds up the process, while a final visual review remains essential.
01
Set trim size and page area
Trim size affects line length, page count and spine width. Inner and outer margins are designed for facing book pages rather than a single office sheet.
Choose an appropriate trim size
Distinguish inner and outer margins
Monitor the resulting page count
02
Design for comfortable reading
Font size, line spacing, paragraphs and chapter openings form one system. The goal is a calm reading surface suited to the content and audience.
Judge typography in book context
Keep chapter openings consistent
Place page numbers appropriately
03
Review interior and cover together
Only the current interior establishes the final page count, which determines spine width. epubio shows those dependencies and creates files from the settings you have chosen.
Is typesetting the same as saving a Word file as PDF?
No. Professional typesetting accounts for facing pages, margins, typographic consistency, chapter openings and the requirements of the selected print edition.
Does the preview replace a printed proof copy?
No. The digital preview supports review. Before a larger print run, a physical proof from the selected printer is still advisable.
Will one interior file work with every printer?
Not automatically. Trim size, bleed, paper and technical specifications vary. Always compare the final output with the current profile supplied by your printer.
