3.Children's board Book Printing

Children's board book printing required a thick, durable, safe material. The C1S is the best choice. C1S means coated one side. One side with matte coated finishing, good for our children's eyes and printing colors in good quality. The back side without glue easy for us the glue 2 sheets together to make each sheet thick enough for our kids. Thick board book easy for our children to handle with and reading. With lamination will make our board books very durable in everyday using.

When we choosing paper stock for our printing projects, the type of book is the first factor we considering about. Like if we want a photography book printing, we will use matte art paper to showcase the images. If a novel or a text book, sure the uncoated offset paper is the best, also known as writing paper, easy for readying and writing.

Also colors should be pay attention to. If our book will printing in full color, a white paper will handle the ink better and help us show off the colors right. For black and white printing or some simple artwork with less colored images, a cream yellowish paper might be suitable like notebook planner printing and novel printing.

Some paper types have a smoother surface, while others have a more textured surface that can add depth and interest to the pages.The textured paper like WIBALIN are well known for hardcover casebound book covers. This will bring us a new feeling of books and make our books unique on the book shelves.
