SAMPLES WITH COLOR INTERIOR, AND COLOR COVER: 

We offer 4 color interiors to choose from:

Ultra-Premium and Premium Color are our BEST color interior print option and is printed on 70lb/105gsm white paper. Great for Children's books and books with a lower page count due to cost.

Standard 70 is and is printed on 70lb/105gsm white paper and a better color print option than Standard 50 due to the heavier paper used. This is also great for children's books, cookbooks, or any book needing a lot of color at a more affordable price.

Standard 50 is printed on 50lb/74gsm white paper and is best used with books that don't need full color on every page. This may be the best color option for textbooks, cookbooks, or books needing some color. Some publishers offer children's books in this print option to keep the retail price lower, in addition to offering the same book in either Premium Color or Standard 70 Color.

If you would like to see samples comparing the same images and photographs that were printed with each of the 3 color options, request the paperback samples denoted with **.
