What is the specific process of photo album printing? Do you need to typeset yourself?

Album printing is a complicated process, including pre-design, production, output and binding. The following is the specific process of photo album printing:

Design: First of all, we need to determine the theme, content, size and style of the album according to customer requirements, and make preliminary design and typesetting. Designers can use a variety of software and tools to make the prototype of the album, such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and so on.

Proofreading: Proofreaders need to carefully check and check the prototype of the album provided by the designer to ensure that the words, pictures and colors meet the requirements of customers and printing. If there are any mistakes or irregularities, they need to be corrected in time.

Binding: determine the binding method of the album, such as paperback, folding, hardcover, etc. , and binding materials and methods. Usually, the album printing factory will provide a variety of binding methods for customers to choose from.

Plate-making: Plate-making is to convert the prototype of an album into an image file needed for printing, including converting words into vector format, converting pictures into CMYK mode, and adding standard printing marks. The plate maker needs to use professional plate-making software and equipment to complete these operations.

Printing: Digital printing or offset printing requires different printing machines and materials according to the size and binding method of the album. In the printing process, color proofreading and proofing are needed to ensure that the quality of the output album meets the requirements.

Cutting: Cut the printed album to a predetermined size for subsequent binding. Usually, professional tools are used for cutting to ensure the accuracy and smoothness of dimensions.
