Hey,

I'm looking to get some books printed in the near future, does anyone know any places in Victoria (or the near area) that does Printing for high quality works, at reasonable prices?

Thanks - Mon, 4 Dec 2006 9:56am

Victoria is actually the original home of one of the pioneers of Print on Demand services.

As far as reasonable prices go, you only ever get what you pay for. From what I've heard its reasonable, and the extra services can be invaluable to selling the final product. Many authors think the easy part will be the selling, but usually its a tougher job than writing the damn book.

I don't work for them, but I am interested in publishing and have seen numerous articles on the technology and this company.

I know you're into photography, so you'd have to ask these companies specifically about that, as I know that has different quality requirements than the photos you would see in an otherwise textual book. For instance, 600dpi is the maximum you are likely to get, but they may have enhanced services of some kind as well for photography.
