FAQ

1. What’s your MOQ for gradient sprayed edge hardcover books?
Our minimum order quantity for gradient sprayed edge hardcover special edition books is 300 pieces. We support flexible small-batch orders for indie self-published authors and mass bulk orders for large publishing houses.

2. How long is production lead time & sample time?
Sample lead time: 7 working days for custom book samples with gradient sprayed edges after artwork confirmation.
Mass production lead time: 12–18 working days after client final file approval, depending on order quantity and combined finishing crafts (foil, emboss, sprayed edges, endpapers, etc.).

3. Can I customize unique pattern on the gradient edges?
Yes. We support multiple edge custom solutions including gradient sprayed edges, solid color sprayed edges, stenciled pattern edges, and hidden printed edges. You can print exclusive custom patterns (animal silhouettes, illustrations, logos, theme graphics) on gradient color page edges to match your novel’s theme.

4. What artwork format do you accept for printing?
We accept professional printing file formats: AI, PDF, ID, PS, CDR. All artwork needs to be converted to CMYK color mode for accurate printing color matching.

5. Do you provide free design assistance for book covers & edges?
We offer free basic design optimization service for covers, endpapers and sprayed edge patterns for all orders. Our professional designers will adjust color mode, layout, bleed and printing technical parameters for your files. Small-batch orders (300–1000pcs) can enjoy full free design draft service under our indie author support plan.

8. Is the sprayed edge ink easy to scratch or fade?
No. We adopt eco-friendly water-based spray ink with a professional multi-layer spraying + high-temperature drying production process. The ink layer tightly adheres to page edges, resisting daily friction scratch and long-term light fading, and complies with international toy & book safety standards.

9. Can I mix multiple finishing processes (foil + sprayed edge + emboss)?

We are a one-stop special edition printing factory that supports combined compound finishing crafts: holographic/metallic foil stamping, emboss/deboss, spot UV, gradient sprayed edges, custom printed endpapers, ribbon bookmarks and dust jackets all on one hardcover book without outsourcing.
