PREPARE BOOK PRINT

From manuscript to a print-ready interior and cover.

epubio guides you through the information a printer needs, from trim size and page numbers to the matching spine width.

Two files that must match

Book printing normally needs an interior PDF and a cover for front, spine and back. epubio calculates and checks both from the same book state.

01

Build the interior

Format, margins, chapter openings and page numbers are prepared for the selected edition.

  • Choose trim size
  • Check margins and page numbers
  • Create print PDF
02

Calculate the spine

Spine width depends on page count and paper. When the interior changes, epubio tells you the cover needs checking again.

  • Use page count
  • Include paper profile
  • Detect relevant changes
03

Check the cover

Dimensions, bleed and image quality are reviewed before handoff to a printer.

  • Combine front, spine and back
  • Check bleed and resolution
  • Download matching files
FAQ

Questions about print files

What is a book interior?

It is the print-ready PDF containing all inside pages.

Why does spine width change?

It depends on page count and paper thickness, so manuscript changes can require a new cover.

Does epubio guarantee acceptance by every printer?

No. Printers use different profiles. epubio checks the selected requirements and guides the preparation.
