Proof Books

We use the highest quality press printing technology so you can show off your work at its very best.

Our Press Printed Proof Books are made using the same high-quality print process as our BayBooks.

Double-sided pages can be ordered in a variety of image configurations, with custom stroke colors and backgrounds, and optional copyrights and file names. Order your pages loose, or choose the Wire, Spiral, or premium Book Binding option that shows off your work to its very best potential.

Have your jobs printed with the traditional high quality of 4 color printing, or try our 6 color printing for the best quality available in a Press Printed Product.

4 Colors image

4 Color

Standard process printing uses patterns of colored dots of varying sizes to trick the eye into seeing a continuous-tone image using only 4 ink colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.

6 Colors image

6 Color

6-Color Printing is an HP Indigo process that adds light Cyan and light Magenta inks. This smooths out the dot pattern for increased depth of color and smoother gradients.
