NEW PRINT OPTIONS
We now offer an ultra-premium color option that is ideal for books that include images and graphics that would benefit from sharp, crisp contrast. Ultra-premium books have offset printing color quality using a toner printer. Our ultra-premium color option can help you create bright and vibrant books!
Also available is groundwood paper, a lightweight, thicker paper that is mostly paired with mass market and trade content. It can bulk up a book without the added weight.
Check to see if your book could benefit from groundwood paper by using our publisher compensation calculator.
GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION FEE
Effective July 1, 2023, a distribution fee will be charged for every print book sold through Ingram's Global Distribution network,
reaching 40,000+ bookstores, retailers, libraries, and schools.
The fee will be 1% of the list price of the print title sold.
For example, if your book has a US list price of $20.00,
the market access fee will be $0.20 cents.
This fee will appear on the compensation report in a
field listed as Global Distribution Fee.
