## FAQs

- [Will my colours match my screen?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/will-my-colours-match-my-screen/) - Not exactly. Screens vary. Print is more consistent. Screens produce colours in Red Green Blue, adding more colour adds light away from black. Print processes use Cyan, Magenta, Blue and black to darken away from white. The colours available with light (on screens) is wider than in the printing process so things can look duller.
- [Do you keep a record of approvals?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-keep-a-record-of-approvals/) - Yes. We log time and version.
- [What does approved for print legally mean?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-does-approved-for-print-legally-mean/) - It means we print exactly what was approved.
- [RGB vs CMYK, what will actually change?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/rgb-vs-cmyk-what-will-actually-change/) - RGB colours shift when converted. Bright colours usually dull down.
- [Why does the same artwork look different on different papers?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-does-the-same-artwork-look-different-on-different-papers/) - Paper absorbs ink differently and different surfaces reflect light differently.
- [What paper gives the best colour pop?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-paper-gives-the-best-colour-pop/) - Gloss or silk generally give stronger colour.
- [What is colour tolerance in commercial print?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-is-colour-tolerance-in-commercial-print/) - Small variation is normal between runs.
- [Will reprints match previous runs exactly?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/will-reprints-match-previous-runs-exactly/) - They’ll be very close, but never identical.
- [Does lamination change colour?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-lamination-change-colour/) - Yes. Gloss deepens colour, matt softens it.
- [Should I use CMYK black or rich black?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/should-i-use-cmyk-black-or-rich-black/) - Text should be CMYK black. Large areas suit rich black.
- [What’s the best way to supply logos for colour accuracy?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-best-way-to-supply-logos-for-colour-accuracy/) - Vector files in CMYK or Pantone.
- [What do the paper weights mean?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-do-the-paper-weights-mean/) - Paper weight is measured in gsm, which stands for grams per square metre. It tells you how heavy the paper is, not necessarily how thick it feels. As a rough guide, 80–100gsm is standard office paper, the kind used for letters and everyday printing. It feels thin and flexible. 120–170gsm is a light upgrade, commonly
- [What colour space should I use?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-colour-space-should-i-use/) - CMYK. Print uses ink, not light. RGB files will be converted and bright colours usually shift.
- [Does printing on different paper types affect colour?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-printing-on-different-paper-types-affect-colour/) - Yes. Coated papers keep ink on the surface so colours look stronger. Uncoated papers absorb ink and soften colours.
- [How do I export Canva files with crops and bleed?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-do-i-export-canva-files-with-crops-and-bleed/) - Make sure images cross over the edge of your canvas. Go to file > download > Select Pdf (print) > tick the box for crops and bleed.
- [Does the colour get affected by qty?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-the-colour-get-affected-by-qty/) - We use a mixture of litho and digital toner based presses to give better costs. There is variance between the processes. Toner sits on the paper giving a brighter image with a slight sheen where as Litho uses wet ink that soaks in and give a flatter look.
- [Do you only do equal qty splits?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-only-do-equal-qty-splits/) - At the moment, yes, online orders are limited to equal splits. If you need uneven quantities, contact us and we’ll sort it manually while we work on improving this.

- [What happens if I forget bleed?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-happens-if-i-forget-bleed/) - We’ll try to fix it but if issues then we'll flag it. Printing without bleed usually leaves white edges.
- [What resolution should images actually be, and what happens if they aren’t?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-resolution-should-images-actually-be-and-what-happens-if-they-arent/) - 300dpi at final size is the benchmark. Lower resolution will look soft.

- [Can I supply PowerPoint or Word?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-supply-powerpoint-or-word/) - We can work with them, but they’re not built for print.
- [Why does my PDF look fine on screen but bad in print?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-does-my-pdf-look-fine-on-screen-but-bad-in-print/) - Screens use light. Print uses ink. They behave differently.
- [Do you flatten transparencies?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-flatten-transparencies/) - Yes, if needed to avoid print issues.

- [What paper works best indoors?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-paper-works-best-indoors/) - Silk or gloss for colour. Uncoated if glare matters.
- [What paper works best outdoors?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-paper-works-best-outdoors/) - Weather-resistant stocks or lamination. Standard paper won’t last outside.
- [Will this curl over time?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/will-this-curl-over-time/) - Lightweight posters can curl. Heavier stocks and lamination reduce this.
- [Is lamination necessary?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-lamination-necessary/) - Only if durability or wipe-clean surfaces are needed.
- [Can this be reused?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-this-be-reused/) - Yes, if handled carefully. Lamination helps.
- [Does size affect resolution?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-size-affect-resolution/) - Yes. Large wide format posters need lower DPI files, but poor files still show.
- [Is this suitable for windows?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-this-suitable-for-windows/) - Yes
- [How is this packed?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-is-this-packed/) - Small posters flat. Large posters rolled.
- [Can this be delivered rolled?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-this-be-delivered-rolled/) - Yes, for larger sizes.
- [What page counts work with this binding?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-page-counts-work-with-this-binding/) - Page counts must be in multiples of four. Very thick books don’t staple well.
- [What is flat size and finished size?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-is-flat-size-and-finished-size/) - Flat size refers to something when it is open or unfolded, Finished size is when closed or folded up.
- [What is trim size?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-is-trim-size/) - Trim size is the final size after cutting.
- [What is a proof?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-is-a-proof/) - A proof is a preview of what will be printed. It’s used to catch mistakes before production.
- [What does approved for print mean?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-does-approved-for-print-mean/) - It means the artwork is locked and ready to be produced as supplied.
- [What is imposition?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-is-imposition/) - It’s how pages are arranged on a sheet so they fold and bind correctly.
- [Why do page counts matter?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-do-page-counts-matter/) - Because sheets fold into fixed structures. Not all page counts work.
- [Can I use this for door drops?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-use-this-for-door-drops/) - Yes, these are idea for door dro
- [Is this suitable for outdoor use?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-this-suitable-for-outdoor-use/) - Short term, yes, if laminated or printed on a weather-resistant stock. Plain paper will degrade quickly outside. Our ink and toners don't run like home inkjet printers though.
- [Can this be folded?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-this-be-folded/) - Yes. Most leaflet stocks fold fine. Thicker or laminated papers need creasing.
- [Will it crack when folded?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/will-it-crack-when-folded/) - It can if the paper is heavy or laminated. We crease folded leaflets to reduce cracking, but some materials are less forgiving.
- [What paper tpye is best for this product?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-paper-tpye-is-best-for-this-product/) - Silk is the safest all-round choice. Gloss gives stronger colour. Uncoated works best if people need to write on it.
- [Can I write on this product?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-write-on-this-product/) - Yes, if it’s uncoated. Gloss and laminated finishes don’t take ink well.
- [Does lamination change the feel?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-lamination-change-the-feel/) - Yes. It makes the leaflet stiffer and more durable. Gloss feels slick. Matt feels softer.
- [Is this recyclable?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-this-recyclable/) - Unlaminated paper is recyclable. Lamination reduces recyclability.
- [What quantity is most cost effective?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-quantity-is-most-cost-effective/) - Higher quantities are cheaper per unit. There’s usually a noticeable price drop once you move beyond short runs.
- [What size should I choose?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-size-should-i-choose/) - Standard UK size works for most people. Non-standard sizes stand out but don’t always fit wallets.
- [What tolerance applies to cutting?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-tolerance-applies-to-cutting/) - Very tight, but not absolute. Microns still exist in the real world.
- [Are books suitable for daily classroom use?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/are-books-suitable-for-daily-classroom-use/) - Yes. They’re produced to handle repeated handling.
- [Can books be numbered or named?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-books-be-numbered-or-named/) - Yes. That’s a variable data setup.
- [Can recycled paper be laminated?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-recycled-paper-be-laminated/) - Yes, though it slightly reduces recyclability. We dont offer it because it is adding a plastic film to a recycled stock.
- [What resolution is needed for large format?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-resolution-is-needed-for-large-format/) - Lower than small print. Typically 150dpi at final size is fine.
- [Are banners suitable for outdoor use?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/are-banners-suitable-for-outdoor-use/) - Only short term unless specified otherwise.
- [What’s the difference between stapled, wire bound, and perfect bound?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-difference-between-stapled-wire-bound-and-perfect-bound/) - Stapled uses metal staples through folded sheets. Wire bound uses a metal loop through punched holes. Perfect bound uses glue along the spine. They behave very differently in use.
- [Which binding opens flat?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/which-binding-opens-flat/) - Wire and coil binding open flat. Stapled mostly does. Perfect bound doesn’t.
- [Which binding is best for books that need to stay open?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/which-binding-is-best-for-books-that-need-to-stay-open/) - Wire or coil binding. Perfect binding will fight you and stapled depends on the spec.
- [Which binding looks most like a paperback book?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/which-binding-looks-most-like-a-paperback-book/) - Perfect binding.
- [Which binding is cheapest?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/which-binding-is-cheapest/) - Stapled, assuming the page count allows it.
- [Which binding is strongest?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/which-binding-is-strongest/) - Perfect binding is strong at the spine. Wire and coil are strong in use.
- [What is this binding best used for?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-is-this-binding-best-used-for/) - Good for short brochures, programmes, and magazines.
- [Does this binding open flat?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-this-binding-open-flat/) - They open reasonably flat but not completely unless low page count and thin stock.
- [Are there page count limits?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/are-there-page-count-limits/) - Page count limits exist because sheets are folded. Too many pages won’t staple cleanly.
- [Do you align grain direction?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-align-grain-direction/) - Yes, where folding or binding makes it necessary.
- [What adds the most cost to a job?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-adds-the-most-cost-to-a-job/) - Finishing steps like lamination, binding, and hand work.
- [What adds the most perceived value?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-adds-the-most-perceived-value/) - Paper choice and finish usually matter more than extra pages.
- [Do laminated jobs need creasing?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-laminated-jobs-need-creasing/) - Yes. Without it, lamination is likely to crack.
- [When does turnaround time start?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/when-does-turnaround-time-start/) - From point of order. Delays between proof and approval will delay delivery deadlines.
- [Do proofs pause turnaround?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-proofs-pause-turnaround/) - Yes. Nothing moves until approval is given.
- [Can urgent jobs delay others?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-urgent-jobs-delay-others/) - Very rarely. We manage this carefully to avoid knock-on issues.
- [Is next-day delivery guaranteed?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-next-day-delivery-guaranteed/) - It’s a courier service, not a promise. Delays are rare but possible. We are in a production environment. We have modern equipment but breakdowns do happen.
- [Who is liable once it leaves you?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/who-is-liable-once-it-leaves-you/) - The courier is responsible in transit, any issues we recommend you contact them directly and use us as a point of escalation if needed.
- [Can I split deliveries?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-split-deliveries/) - Yes, but it adds cost.
- [Why does print get cheaper at higher quantities?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-does-print-get-cheaper-at-higher-quantities/) - Setup costs stay similar. More units spread that cost.
- [Why do online printers look cheaper?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-do-online-printers-look-cheaper/) - They standardise everything and remove human checks. They also batch print jobs with other jobs instead of treating each one individually.
- [Why aren't you the cheapest?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-arent-you-the-cheapest/) - Because the cheapest option usually cuts something you only notice later. Time, paper quality, file checks, colour accuracy, finishing, packaging, or support when something goes wrong. We focus on getting it right first time, using decent materials, checking files properly, and being reachable when you need a human to fix a problem. If all you want
- [Will staples rust?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/will-staples-rust/) - Time, paper quality, file checks, colour accuracy, finishing, packaging, or support when something goes wrong.
- [Can staples be removed?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-staples-be-removed/) - We don’t race to the bottom on price. We focus on getting it right first time, using decent materials, checking files properly, and being reachable when you need a human to fix a problem.
- [Does page count affect strength?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-page-count-affect-strength/) - If all you want is the lowest number on the screen, we’re probably not for you.
- [Do inner pages need wider margins?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-inner-pages-need-wider-margins/) - If you want print that turns up on time, looks how you expected, and doesn’t create a second job fixing mistakes, that’s where we earn our keep.
- [Can pages fold back on themselves?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-pages-fold-back-on-themselves/) - Yes. That’s one of the main reasons to choose it.
- [Will coils deform in transit?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/will-coils-deform-in-transit/) - Rarely, but they’re more forgiving than wire.
- [Can labels be freezer safe?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-labels-be-freezer-safe/) - Yes, with the right material and adhesive.
- [Are corners rounded for safety?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/are-corners-rounded-for-safety/) - They can be. It’s optional.
- [Does recycled paper affect print quality?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-recycled-paper-affect-print-quality/) - Not really, its very hard to tell the difference between our recycled and non recycled stock. It's a little less smooth to the surface so colours can be a bit softer, especially in long runs.
- [Is recycled paper more expensive?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-recycled-paper-more-expensive/) - Yes. It isn't produced in the same volumes as non recycled so is more expensive.
- [Is recycled paper always grey?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-recycled-paper-always-grey/) - No. Our recycled papers are bright white.
- [What does print ready actually mean?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-does-print-ready-actually-mean/) - It means the file is the correct size, correct order, includes bleed, uses suitable colour settings, and is presented in the correct format. If something’s missing, it isn’t print ready.
- [What happens if I approve artwork with a mistake?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-happens-if-i-approve-artwork-with-a-mistake/) - Once it’s approved, we print what’s supplied. Approval means responsibility for content passes to you. Contact us as immediately as possible and we will see what stage your job is at but we cannot guarantee anything. Once approved files are often printed shortly afterwards.
- [Do you keep records of approvals?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-keep-records-of-approvals/) - Yes. We keep a copy of the approved proof and the approval time.
- [Can multiple people approve artwork?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-multiple-people-approve-artwork/) - We require one clear approval, then we can proceed.
- [Can I supply Canva files?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-supply-canva-files/) - Yes, but they must be exported as print-ready PDFs with bleed. Canva designs often need checking before print.
- [Can I supply Word or PowerPoint files?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-supply-word-or-powerpoint-files/) - We can try to convert them, but they’re not designed for print. Expect layout changes and incorrect sizes. We cannot open powerpoint to make edits.
- [Why does my PDF look fine on screen but wrong in print?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-does-my-pdf-look-fine-on-screen-but-wrong-in-print/) - Screens use light (primary colours). Print uses ink (secondary colours). Colours, contrast, and sharpness behave differently.Screens lighten away from black to achieve colour where as print darkens away from white. Colour can also look different on different screens.
- [What happens if fonts aren’t embedded?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-happens-if-fonts-arent-embedded/) - They may substitute or reflow. We try to flag this before printing.
- [Do you honour overprint settings?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-honour-overprint-settings/) - Yes. If overprint is set incorrectly, it will print incorrectly.
- [Will my print match my screen?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/will-my-print-match-my-screen/) - Not exactly. Screens are backlit and vary widely. Print is more consistent but works within CMYK limits.
- [Can you match Pantone colours?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-you-match-pantone-colours/) - Yes, within tolerance, we will convert to CMYK. Exact matches depend on paper, ink, and finish. Pantone inks can contain fluorescent, metallic or transparent whites to achieve unique colours. Some colours are not achievable out of 4 colour.
- [Why do blacks look different?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-do-blacks-look-different/) - Single black and rich black behave differently. Rich black is darker but not suitable everywhere.
- [Does lamination affect colour?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-lamination-affect-colour/) - Yes. Gloss deepens colour. Matt softens it slightly.
- [What does gsm actually mean?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-does-gsm-actually-mean/) - It’s weight, not thickness. Different papers with the same gsm can feel very different.
- [Is thicker paper always better?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-thicker-paper-always-better/) - No. It depends on use. Too thick can crack or feel awkward.
- [How long will colours last?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-long-will-colours-last/) - Indoors, years. Outdoors, it depends on exposure and material. Sunlight fades everything eventually.
- [Can stapled booklets open flat?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-stapled-booklets-open-flat/) - Mostly, yes. They open flatter than perfect bound books but not as flat as wire bound.
- [Can I mix paper stocks in a booklet?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-mix-paper-stocks-in-a-booklet/) - Yes. It’s common to use a heavier cover and lighter inner pages.
- [What’s the minimum page count for perfect binding?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-minimum-page-count-for-perfect-binding/) - There isn't a minimum number of pages, it's determined by the thickness. There has to be enough for the glue to adhere to. Thickness can be affected by the stock and number of pages, our site warns if it's too thin.
- [Can text be printed on the spine?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-text-be-printed-on-the-spine/) - Yes, as long as the spine is wide enough. Very thin spines won’t hold readable text.
- [Is perfect binding suitable for manuals?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-perfect-binding-suitable-for-manuals/) - It can be, but if the book needs to stay open on a desk, wire or coil binding works better.
- [What’s the difference between wire and coil binding?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-difference-between-wire-and-coil-binding/) - Wire uses metal loops, coil uses plastic. Coil is more flexible. Wire looks cleaner but its harder to loose a page from a coil.
- [Do wire bound books open flat?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-wire-bound-books-open-flat/) - Yes. They’re designed to lie flat or fold back on themselves.
- [Is coil binding more durable?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-coil-binding-more-durable/) - Generally, yes. The plastic coil is harder to deform than metal wire and because it's like a spring, pages cannot fallout with heavy use unless torn.
- [Are your labels waterproof?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/are-your-labels-waterproof/) - Some materials are, some aren’t. Paper labels aren’t waterproof. Synthetic ones are.
- [Will labels stick to glass or plastic?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/will-labels-stick-to-glass-or-plastic/) - Yes, with the right adhesive. Smooth surfaces usually need stronger glue.
- [Are labels permanent or removable?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/are-labels-permanent-or-removable/) - Both options exist. You need to choose based on how the label will be used.
- [What’s the best paper for menus?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-best-paper-for-menus/) - Uncoated works for disposable menus. Laminated or synthetic stocks last longer and wipe clean.
- [Do laminated menus crack?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-laminated-menus-crack/) - They can on folds. We crease them, but repeated heavy folding will still show wear.
- [What finish avoids fingerprints?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-finish-avoids-fingerprints/) - Matt finishes show fewer marks than gloss.
- [What’s the difference between budget and premium banners?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-difference-between-budget-and-premium-banners/) - The quality of the cassette. Budget stands are designed for single use but will last if cared for, the standard is designed to last and the premium is a much nicer base aesthetically as well as sturdy.
- [Are roller banners reusable?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/are-roller-banners-reusable/) - Yes. They’re designed to be packed away and reused. The budget option is designed for single use but will last if taken care of.
- [Are carry cases included?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/are-carry-cases-included/) - Yes. They come as standard.
- [Is the paper suitable for children writing on?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/is-the-paper-suitable-for-children-writing-on/) - Yes. We use uncoated stocks that take pen and pencil without bleeding.
- [Can pages be ruled or gridded?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-pages-be-ruled-or-gridded/) - Yes. That’s supplied in the artwork.
- [Can I do landscape, square or non standard formats with saddle stitching?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-do-landscape-square-or-non-standard-formats-with-saddle-stitching/) - Our standard sizes, including square are online. We can trim books to almost any size but dont have functionality to add custom sizing online just yet so you may need to contact us.
- [What finishes or post production options are compatible with saddle stitching?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-finishes-or-post-production-options-are-compatible-with-saddle-stitching/) - Laminated covers are common. Spot UV, foil, embossing and drilled holes all work, but each adds handling time and may limit page count or stock choices.
- [What are common production errors or artwork issues with saddle stitched booklets and how do I avoid them?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-are-common-production-errors-or-artwork-issues-with-saddle-stitched-booklets-and-how-do-i-avoid-them/) - The usual issues are spreads instead of pages, page counts not in multiples of four, borders too close to the trim, ignoring creep, or choosing paper that is too thick to fold cleanly. Set up single pages with sensible margins and you avoid most problems.
- [How do I decide between saddle stitching and another binding method like perfect bound or wire o?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-do-i-decide-between-saddle-stitching-and-another-binding-method-like-perfect-bound-or-wire-o/) - Saddle stitch is best for shorter, faster, cheaper jobs where you don’t need a spine (or lower page counts). Perfect bound suits thicker books. Wire o is for anything that needs to lie flat or rotate fully. Pick based on function, not decoration.
- [How does turnaround time and cost scale with page count, paper type or finishing for saddle stitched booklets?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-does-turnaround-time-and-cost-scale-with-page-count-paper-type-or-finishing-for-saddle-stitched-booklets/) - Turnaround is mainly affected by artwork approval or adding lamination. Page count and paper type barely change production time, but extra finishing always adds steps. Larger qtys will also add production time, it should be clearly stated on the dispatch timer.
- [What are the environmental or sustainability considerations for saddle stitched booklets?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-are-the-environmental-or-sustainability-considerations-for-saddle-stitched-booklets/) - They’re easy to recycle. No glue, just paper and two staples. Using FSC or recycled stocks keeps the footprint low, and keeping page count tight avoids unnecessary waste. Lamination is optional if you want it fully recyclable.
- [What happens if my artwork isn’t print ready?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-happens-if-my-artwork-isnt-print-ready/) - We’ll check it and tell you what’s wrong. If it’s something minor, we’ll usually try to fix it. If it’s more involved, we’ll explain the options before anything goes to print.
- [Do you add bleed if I forget it?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-add-bleed-if-i-forget-it/) - Most times we can, sometimes we can’t. It depends on the artwork. If adding bleed would distort the design, we’ll flag it rather than guessing.
- [Does my page count need to be a multiple of four?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-my-page-count-need-to-be-a-multiple-of-four/) - Yes. Stapled booklets are made from folded sheets, so pages have to work in fours. If your file doesn’t, we’ll let you know what needs adding or removing.
- [Why don’t perfect bound books open flat?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-dont-perfect-bound-books-open-flat/) - The pages are glued into the spine. That strength is the trade-off. They’ll open well enough to read, but they won’t lie flat like wire or coil binding.
- [When will I receive tracking information?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/when-will-i-receive-tracking-information/) - Once the courier has collected from us. You’ll usually get tracking later that day or early the next morning, depending on the service.
- [What paper works best for leaflets?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-paper-works-best-for-leaflets/) - For general use, silk is the safest option. Gloss gives more punch. Uncoated is better if people need to write on it.
- [Do folded leaflets crack on the fold?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-folded-leaflets-crack-on-the-fold/) - They can if the paper is thick or laminated. We crease folded jobs to reduce this, but some materials behave better than others.
- [What leaflet size works best for door drops?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-leaflet-size-works-best-for-door-drops/) - A5 and A6 are common because they’re cost-effective and easy to handle. Bigger sizes stand out more but cost more to distribute.
- [What card thickness should I choose?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-card-thickness-should-i-choose/) - 350gsm is the standard. Thicker stocks feel heavier but don’t always last longer in wallets.
- [Can I write on business cards?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-write-on-business-cards/) - Yes, although its easier if they are uncoated and not laminated. You can write on the other options with biro, just not as easily.
- [Are rounded corners worth it?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/are-rounded-corners-worth-it/) - They look cleaner and don’t dog-ear as quickly, but they don’t suit every brand.
- [What paper should I use for posters?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-paper-should-i-use-for-posters/) - Silk or gloss for indoor use. For outdoor posters, you’ll need a weather-resistant stock or lamination.
- [Will posters curl?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/will-posters-curl/) - They can, especially on lighter stocks. Heavier paper and lamination reduce this.
- [Can you help design my leaflet?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-you-help-design-my-leaflet/) - Yes. We can design from your brief or tidy up an existing layout. Either way we’ll make sure it prints right. Artwork is chargeable so it may be best to contact us with the full scope.
- [What size bleed should I add to my artwork?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-size-bleed-should-i-add-to-my-artwork/) - 3mm on all sides. We can generate bleed if you dont have any BUT it's much better to create at the artwork stage.
- [What resolution should images be?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-resolution-should-images-be/) - 300dpi at print size. Anything lower will look soft or pixelated. Anything less than 200dpi wil look low quality. If you are unsure, our prepress software will warn of low resolution images
- [How do I convert fonts to outlines?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-do-i-convert-fonts-to-outlines/) - In Illustrator or InDesign, select all and choose 'Create Outlines'. It stops font issues at print.
- [Do you check spelling or grammar?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-check-spelling-or-grammar/) - No. Unfortunatley we get a volume of multipage documents and books and don't have time to check spelling and grammar. We print what you send. Give it a final proofread before approving. A human does check files and occasionally catch things but we can't guarantee it.
- [What’s ‘safe area’ and why does it matter?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-safe-area-and-why-does-it-matter/) - We recommend keeping text and logos at least 5mm from the edge for two reasons. 1 it gives the text room to breath and just looks better. 2 We have to allow for movement in the process, tolerances are finite but if you have a 1mm margin then the slight movement becomes more obvious.
- [Do you use FSC or recycled paper stocks?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-use-fsc-or-recycled-paper-stocks/) - Yes, almost all of our stocks are FSC or PEFC certified. For many reasons we do not pay for FSC certification so you cannot use the logo but the sheets are from managed forests. We instead, pay a price per tonne to the Woddland trust to replant native woodland here in the UK. We offer
- [Do recycled papers look duller or rougher?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-recycled-papers-look-duller-or-rougher/) - Modern recycled papers look crisp and white. You honestly can't tell the difference.
- [Do eco papers cost more?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-eco-papers-cost-more/) - Yes, due to the actual process of recycling, but it’s usually worth it for the story it tells your customers.
- [What’s the most eco-friendly option overall?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-most-eco-friendly-option-overall/) - Honestly, this is a difficult one to answer. We do our best to make sure we are as sustainable as possible. 100% recycled uncoated paper probably edges it but the recycling process does consume energy and use some chemicals. All our other sheets come from sustainable, managed forests (which are growing). Short run we print
- [Do you offer lamination (matt, gloss, soft touch)?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-offer-lamination-matt-gloss-soft-touch/) - Yes. Lamination protects and changes feel. Matt = smooth and muted, gloss = sharp and shiny, soft touch = velvet-like.
- [What is spot UV and when should I use it?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-is-spot-uv-and-when-should-i-use-it/) - Spot UV is a shiny varnish on chosen areas. Use it for logos or highlights on a matt surface. Cost depends on the area so you would need to contact us for a custom quote.
- [Can you add foil blocking or embossing?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-you-add-foil-blocking-or-embossing/) - Yes. Foil adds shine, embossing adds texture. Great for premium covers or invitations. Cost depends on the area so you would need to contact us for a custom quote.
- [Do you offer die-cut shapes?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-offer-die-cut-shapes/) - Yes, we can cut almost any shape. A cutter needs to be made to produce the job, because complexity and size can effect this we are unable to offer it online at the moment so you would need to contact us for a custom quote.
- [Do you offer trade pricing for resellers?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-offer-trade-pricing-for-resellers/) - Currently, No. Our best prices are online, we may look to add this in future.

We have the option to select white label specifically too incase you are specifically worried about a particular job. It just prompts an extra once over in QA our end.
- [Do you offer account terms for regular customers?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-offer-account-terms-for-regular-customers/) - Yes, subject to approval. Ask our accounts team for a credit application form.
- [Do you ship internationally?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-ship-internationally/) - Mostly UK-based, but we may quote for overseas on request.
- [What is creep or binders creep and how does it affect my design?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-is-creep-or-binders-creep-and-how-does-it-affect-my-design/) - Creep happens because folded sheets stack inside each other. Inner pages stick out more, so they lose more when trimmed. If you ignore it, margins tighten and the booklet looks slightly off. Thicker stock and higher page counts make it worse.
- [How do heavier paper stocks or thicker covers affect saddle stitching and the maximum page count?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-do-heavier-paper-stocks-or-thicker-covers-affect-saddle-stitching-and-the-maximum-page-count/) - Thicker stock bulks up fast. That reduces the maximum number of pages before the spine fans open or the staples struggle. A booklet that works at 40 pages on light stock might need to be closer to 12 on a heavier stock.
- [What’s the maximum number of pages you can staple?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-maximum-number-of-pages-you-can-staple/) - It depends on paper thickness, but around 64 pages on 130gsm is about the limit before it struggles to fold flat. We only quote up to 40pp online because beyond that we believe books spring open too much and suffer with creep. Creep is where the folded sheets,when nested together, push the inner ones out
- [Why does my page count need to be a multiple of four?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/why-does-my-page-count-need-to-be-a-multiple-of-four/) - Because each sheet makes four printed pages once folded. That’s just how booklet pagination works.
- [Do you trim the edges after stapling?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-trim-the-edges-after-stapling/) - Yes. Every stapled booklet is trimmed after folding for a clean, square edge.
- [Can you staple landscape booklets?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-you-staple-landscape-booklets/) - Yes. Landscape works the same way, we just adjust the spine position before stitching.
- [Can you print stapled booklets with thicker covers?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-you-print-stapled-booklets-with-thicker-covers/) - Yes, we can use heavier cover stock as long as the booklet isn’t too bulky to staple neatly.
- [What is perfect binding?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-is-perfect-binding/) - It’s where the pages are glued into a square spine, like a paperback book. Clean, professional, and ideal for thicker documents.
- [What’s the minimum page count for perfect bound books?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-minimum-page-count-for-perfect-bound-books/) - Roughly 40 pages, though it depends on paper thickness. Too few and the spine won’t hold properly. It's not strictly a page count; It has to be a minimum of 2.5mm on the spine for the glue to hold, our site wont let you go smaller than that.
- [How do I calculate spine width?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-do-i-calculate-spine-width/) - There is a spine thickness calculator on all our perfect bound products. Or, if you're struggling We can help calculate that for you once we know your paper type and page count.
- [Can I print text or graphics across the spine?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-print-text-or-graphics-across-the-spine/) - Yes, but only if your spine is thick enough for it to read cleanly. We’ll check alignment before print. Due to the nature of the binding, internally, the image does dissapear into the spine slightly so we DO NOT recommend having text across spreads.
- [Do you recommend laminating perfect bound covers?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/do-you-recommend-laminating-perfect-bound-covers/) - For the Eco conscious, No. It is essentially a plastic that we are specifically not recommending as standard. It will harm recycling ability. Most printers would say almost always for the non eco conscious as It strengthens the spine and stops cracking. Matt, gloss, or soft-touch available.
- [How durable is perfect binding?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-durable-is-perfect-binding/) - Very. PUR glue is the strongest, it will bind almost anything. However we use EVA glue (said to be 99% the strength of PUR). EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) glue is cleaner, safer, and more recyclable than PUR. It doesn’t contain isocyanates (a chemical used in PUR that’s harder on the environment and on people working
- [What margins should I use](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-margins-should-i-use/) - On your inner pages allow extra space on the bound edge — for example, if you have 10 mm margins on the outer edges, use 15 mm on the inner edges to stop text disappearing into the glue line.
- [How many sheets come in a pad?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-many-sheets-come-in-a-pad/) - Usually 25, 50, or 100. You choose when ordering. 50 is by far the most common for an office scenario but 25 sheets might be used for an event. We have done as little as 5 but you would need to contact us for a custom quote.
- [Can I have tear-off sheets glued at the top or side?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-have-tear-off-sheets-glued-at-the-top-or-side/) - Yes. Top or side glued, your choice.
- [Can you add a cardboard back to each pad?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-you-add-a-cardboard-back-to-each-pad/) - Yes. Every pad includes a greyboard back as standard for rigidity.
- [Can I print different designs on each sheet?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/can-i-print-different-designs-on-each-sheet/) - Not usually in one pad. Each pad is one repeated design, but you can split your run into different versions. It is possible but it would need quoting as a custom job.
- [What paper works best for writing pads?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/what-paper-works-best-for-writing-pads/) - Uncoated paper, usually 100gsm or 120gsm. It takes pen and pencil cleanly without smudging. We have silk and gloss as an option but these tend to be used for specific applications where the sheets aren't written on.
- [What’s the difference between a leaflet and a flyer?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-difference-between-a-leaflet-and-a-flyer/) - Depends who you ask.

- [What’s the best paper weight for leaflets?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/whats-the-best-paper-weight-for-leaflets/) - 130gsm or 170gsm silk is the most popular. Lighter for mass mailouts, heavier for premium handouts. Anything thats being posted; 300gsm is a postcard weight and less likely to get screwed up. We also recommend considering 300gsm and above if you are pushing them through letterboxes yourselves as it will save your fingers.
- [How do I place an order on your website?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-do-i-place-an-order-on-your-website/) - Just pick a product, set your options, upload your artwork, and check out. If anything’s unclear, we’ll always check before printing.

Perfect bound is glued with a square spine, better for thicker, more premium books.
- [How many pages can I have in a booklet?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/how-many-pages-can-i-have-in-a-booklet/) - Stapled booklets need a multiple of 4 pages up to about 40pp in our opinion. Perfect bound can go much higher, usually up to about 200 pages depending on paper weight. Perfect bound needs a minimum 2.5mm spine to have enough glue to hold the pages and cover.
- [Does the cover count as part of the page total?](https://inkwell-printing.co.uk/qa_faqs/does-the-cover-count-as-part-of-the-page-total/) - Yes. A 40-page booklet means 36 inner pages plus 4 for the cover.
