File Preparation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when using MS Word:
Set the Page Size to A4
Set all margins to the same setting minimum 20mm for all 'book sizes'.
Set the type size to 12pt 'Justified' text for A4 finished book size.
Set the type size to 14pt or greater 'Justified' text if the A4 document is to be used to print a smaller than
A4 book, e.g. 'Royal', 'A5' or 'Demy' (see the estimate page for a list of available sizes).
Estimate Page
Use the 'centre text' function if centralised text is required.
Resolution for black only printing should be 300dpi, saved as greyscale or bitmap.
Resolution for colour printing should be a minimum of 300dpi.
Always use the 'Spell Check' facility in MS Word, we do not spell check or proof read any work submitted for printing. We do supply a FREE Proof Copy for your approval which should be checked before placing the order with Mybook Publisher Book Printers.
We use PDF files as standard print ready format, files can be converted from Microsoft Word or Publisher using Adobe Distiller, Adobe PDF Convertor or Adobe Indesign. If this software is not available to you there are a number of free PDF conversion packages available on the internet for example PDFOnline.
To use PDFOnline save a copy of your file to the 'Desk Top' on your PC, rename the file and
open the PDFOnline link above.
Browse for the file on your 'Desk Top' select the
file and fill in the email address: publish@kup.keele.ac.uk,
click on 'Convert to PDF' the file will then be sent to us and we will print your free 'Proof Copy'.
PDFOnline has a maximum file size of 2MB for each conversion, if your files exceed this file size, we can
