Short run printers for books?
« on: January 10, 2017, 04:41:39 PM »
Does anybody have experience hiring printers for books?
I have an idea for a book I want to make, and I have used print on demand services in the past for printing up to 100 copies of books, but I'd like to print more copies and in better quality. I'm talking about 500-1000 copies. I'm not even sure where to start.

If anybody has any idea, I'd love to have any help I can get. Thanks!

I'm not sure where you're located, but in the US there's A&I in Los Angeles (but you can work with them long distance). http://aandi.com/photobooks  They aren't cheap but from what I've seen they do a gorgeous job.
