Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions authors, publishers and organisations ask us most. Can't find yours — message our manager.
What is the minimum print run?
From a few copies with digital printing, from a few hundred with offset. We'll advise which is more cost-effective for your run.
What's the difference between digital and offset printing?
Digital prints without making plates — fast and cost-effective for small runs. Offset becomes cheaper on large runs: the bigger the run, the lower the cost per copy.
What binding types are there?
Perfect binding — glued, no thread, a neat spine (from about 48 pages). Hardcover (sewn) — the most durable, for books that live on a shelf. Saddle stitch — for thin brochures up to about 64 pages. Metal or plastic spiral — when the edition needs to open fully and lie flat.
Which paper should I choose?
Offset paper (matte, slightly cream) is best for text and literary prose. Coated paper (smooth, heavier) is for illustrated books, catalogues and albums. Not sure — we'll advise for your project.
What file format should I send?
Ideally a print-ready PDF with bleed (3–5 mm). If you don't have artwork yet, send a brief and we'll guide you on preparing the file.
How long does printing take?
It depends on the run, the binding and the shop's workload. The manager gives an exact timeline after reviewing your artwork, together with the quote.
How do I place an order?
Message manager Liudmyla on Viber or use the calculator for an indicative price. We'll check the file and agree on the material, run and timeline.
How does delivery work?
Nova Post across Ukraine, pickup from the Kyiv shop, delivery to the EU by arrangement.
Do you work with organisations and public procurement?
Yes. We print for educational institutions and work through the ProZorro public procurement system — providing a contract and closing documents.
