Not a major issue, first because it’s not likely that you would want to change your paper type for each order, if it is indeed the source of the slightly differing dimensions.
#Align tool in bookwright registration
Pure and utter speculation: It is probably due to the different machines used to produce each book for which the cutters registration differs a bit, who knows? Say you want to put them on a shelf, their top hedge would not align. Unless stated otherwise all pictures in this post follow the same paper order from left to right.įirst thing noted when opening the delivery parcel: All books don’t have the same size. (*) Enter the MKSA world my friends, one metric system to rule them all 😉 ProLine Uncoated – 148 gsm, A 53%, B 50% more expensive than 1.ProLine Pearl – 190 gsm, A 67%, B 75% more expensive than 1.Premium Matt – 148 gsm, A 33%, B 25% more expensive than 1.Premium Luster – 148 gsm, A 33%, B 25% more expensive than 1.

Here are the 5 paper types that where used to make these 5 identical books (A: initial book price, B: additional pages price): Software used to create the book: Bookwright from Blurb, I made 5 identical books, differing only in their paper type, and of course their cover title to differentiate them easily.Īll photographs are scans of film negatives, exported only once and used as is for all 5 books, “copy-paste” was my motto on this test, I just had to change the title of each book, easy…

The book used for this test: Blurb Small square soft cover, 20 pages, 7×7″ So I thought it could be useful to share what I got from it as the purpose of all photograph is to be printed in a form or another. And (spoiler alert) I actually DID learn a lot from that test.

I wanted to learn more than I could grasp from the swatch kit. I do have an old swatch kit that I got at a trade show, but I wanted to see, feel and touch the rendering of images I know, some of mine.ĭisclaimer: this blog is not sponsored, only non monetized opinions here: mine. For a long time I wanted to compare the different papers Blurb offers on its Publish On Demand platform.
