Common Questions About Custom Book Printing

How do I get my book printed?

The simplest way to get your book printed is by submitting your files through our online portal. Our system guides you through selecting your specifications (size, binding, paper type) and submitting your final manuscript and cover files.

How do I print a book online?

Printing a book online involves preparing your manuscript and cover files to spec, choosing a reputable printer like Velqa Publisher, selecting your print options (quantity, binding, size), and uploading your files for proofing and production.

What kind of paper type is used for book pages?

We offer a variety of paper types, including standard 50# or 60# uncoated white or cream for text-heavy books, and gloss or matte coated stock (like 80# or 100#) for books with high-quality color images or photos.

How much does it cost to custom print a book at Velqa Publisher?

The price depends on the quantity, page count, trim size, and binding type (hardcover vs. paperback). Use our instant quote calculator above or contact us for a detailed estimate. We offer competitive, price-matched quotes.

How can I print my books?

You can print your books through our custom short-run digital printing service, or opt for Print On Demand (POD) for zero inventory risk and direct fulfillment.

Should I choose color or black-and-white printing?

Black-and-white printing is cost-effective for novels and memoirs. Color printing is best for children's books, cookbooks, photography books, and any book where image fidelity is critical, though it carries a higher cost.

How do I select a trim size and paper stock?

Trim size should align with your genre (e.g., 6x9 for fiction, 8.5x11 for workbooks). Paper stock selection depends on your content—uncoated for text, coated for color images. Our specialists can guide you through the optimal choices for your genre.

Do you print hardcover books?

Yes, Velqa Publisher offers premium hardcover (casebound) printing with options for dust jackets or printed cases, providing a durable and professional finish for your book.

I need editing, too. How can I add editing to my order?

You can add editing services (copy editing, line editing) directly during the quoting process or by speaking with one of our author representatives before your book files are submitted for printing.

What is Print On Demand?

Print On Demand (POD) is a printing technology where books are printed one at a time only after an order is placed. This eliminates the need for large print runs and warehousing, ideal for distribution.

How long should my book be?

The ideal length varies by genre: novels are typically 250–350 pages, children's books are much shorter (24–32 pages), and memoirs can range widely. We can print books from 24 pages up to 800+ pages.
