Number of copies of your document

Pages

Total number of pages of your document (we count each side as a page, double sided prints count as 2 pages). Make sure you include the front and back cover when counting. A separately submitted cover counts as 2 pages.

Completely black/white

The entire document will be printed in black and white. Whatever is in color will be printed in grayscale.

Full color

The entire document will be printed in color.

Only these pages in color

You can specify which pages should be printed in color. Specify specific pages or a page range: 1-5,18,21. We assume the pdf numbering where the front counts as page 1.

170x240mm

Is often chosen for a dissertation, pocket size. Size between A4 and A5 size.

A5 size

Final size (after finishing) is A5

A4 size

Final size (after finishing) is A4

A3 size

Final size (after finishing) is A3

Size differs

You can specify a different size here (width x height in mm). You enter the final size that must remain after trimming (without bleed) or finishing (folding, binding, etc.) or finishing (folding, binding, etc.)

Single sided printing

The paper will be printed on 1 side

Double sided printing

The paper will be printed on both sides. When you submit multiple files, they will be merged and printed as a whole.

Front / title page one-sided

The front (1st page of your document) will be printed single-sided, the back will remain blank. Do not add a blank page if you choose this option.

Borderless printing

The standard print margin is 5mm, do images or texts extend to the edge? Then choose this option. We will then produce your document in a way where the print margin does not apply (if you do not provide bleed, your document will be enlarged all around by 1mm, we will cut the document back to the correct size).

If you do not choose this option then the outer 5mm (around) will remain unprinted / white (see picture on the right). The "borderless" option is not possible in all combinations.
Tip: Use the preview to see if this option is necessary.

For the experts: 3mm / 5mm bleed persists, crop marks are allowed. With a bleed, we do not enlarge the document.

Insert dividing sheet

You can indicate which pages should be preceded by an unprinted blue dividing sheet. Indicate specific pages as follows: 18,21,100. We assume the PDF numbering, you can check the correct input in the preview. For clarification purposes, a dividing sheet is inserted before the page number(s) you specify. With this you automatically ensure that the specified pages start on a new sheet and are therefore always printed on the right side

Cover

Choose the desired cover, check out our overview of paper types to see all our different paper types.

Cover glossy

The outside of the cover will have a special coating, which gives the cover an extra gloss and protects it against dirt, water and scratches.

With perfect binding this option is checked by default with cover Very firm. For the other paper types this option is not possible and is unchecked by default.

Cover matt-laminated

The cover is protected with a 43um thick matt lamination (soft touch). This is a scratch-resistant layer that protects the paper against moisture and pollution (sides of the paper are not closed and accessible to moisture). This finish is recommended for frequent use and offers more protection than the glossy coating.

Front transparent

Transparent cover sheet provides protection, feels firm. The transparent cover sheet is light matt which reduces the sensitivity to scratches, and this also gives a more luxurious appearance.

Printed front

The title page of your document (1st page) will be printed on 350 grams paper and serves as the cover. If you choose double-sided printing, the cover will also be printed on both sides (unless you choose front / title page one-sided)
