Coloured Card Cover

SpuntoTheRatBoy · October 2018

I'm working on the second edition of a book I wrote some years ago — I'm pretty happy with the PDF I think, pending a couple of details, and now I'm thinking about the cover.

The book is saddle-stitched A4. The front cover artwork is a very striking solid single colour line drawing. The original cover was printed in black on a matte blue card stock.

Is it possible to have the cover printed in black on coloured card? I think it was originally a money-saving technique but it really suits the image.

Thanks!

WYSIWYG. http://www.lulu.com/create/books

But it will still look the same even if the colour is printed. Although all POD covers are glossy.

Thanks @Just Kevin I appreciate it.

One additional note, we do offer Matte cover printing through Lulu xPress.

Lulu xPress seems to be just a POD printer though, no? If you want an ISBN and Dist the link brings you to http://www.lulu.com/sell

Correct

/Sell is not the usual Create page though.

The idea being to provide some info on ISBN/distribution before moving to the Creation page, linked at the bottom of the Sell page.

Although the /sell page is a bit sparse, it may be an advantage to tag it on the Create section for actual Lulu.com users to see? Oh, and move the Make This Book button to the bottom of the Create options?

We'll be removing that Create page entirely in favor of a true pricing calculator and a all-in-one Wizard eventually.
