One way to make a book stand out is to design it in a horizontal or landscape format. The large pages of these books are great space for images, charts, and graphics. However, a landscape book requires a large format printer. Not all printers have the capability to print horizontal books. Read on to learn how we helped one client because of our capabilities to digitally print on a large format printer.
The Business Problem
Creatives on Call® designed a “lookbook” showcasing the capabilities of their client Cintas. The book was designed as a 36-page landscape book. They only needed about a dozen copies printed. Many printers use offset printing to print large format designs but offset printing is not cost-effective for small amounts. Creatives on Call® reached out for help.
Evolution’s Creative Solution
Our Creative Solution Team quickly acknowledged that Evolution creative solutions could print the landscape book on a large-format digital printer, saving the expense of offset printing. We recommended using a saddle stitch to bind the book. A saddle stitch will lay flat and stay open, making it easier to read on a flat surface. We had the books printed and ready on time.
Don’t limit your design to the standard book size and shape. Go ahead and design that landscape book. Our large format print capabilities help bring your creative ideas to life. Call 513-681-4450 or click here:[email protected].
