Book printing in China has two main processes: book printing and bookbinding, so how to distinguish between hardcover and softcover? First of all, the book printing process is the same, but whether it is hardcover book printing or softcover book printing, China Printing Export is committed to providing the same book printing quality in the color management process of book printing in China. The difference between hardcover book printing and softcover book printing is that they have different binding methods. The binding method of hardcover books is complicated, but the printed hardcover book will be more refined, and hardcover books are more suitable for collection. However, the function of the softcover book emphasizes the current use and meets the needs of daily reading.
For book printing in China, the book printing companies in China selects paper according to the number of grams specified by customers. Softcover book printing and hardcover book printing have unified paper and book printing standards. In hardcover book printing, there are 5-10 more processes than softcover book printing, such as gilding, bronzing, painting, plugging cloth, and sticking ribbon, etc,. Therefore, as the book finishing process increases, the use of auxiliary materials will increase.
So in terms of cost, hardcover book printing will be higher than softcover book printing. The softcover book is the book we usually use, such as student textbooks, magazines, and product catalogs. Binding softcover book commonly used process, i.e. with a perfect binding machine dedicated to the book pages together with glue, and then a cover stick together. In softcover printing, the cover of the softcover book uses general coated paper, which is thicker than the inner page. The whole book can be bent and held in your hand.
The inner pages of hardcover book printing in China generally use the thread sewing binding process. For hardcover book printing in China, the hardcover book inner pages are sewed together with threads and then glued so that the printed hardcover book are stronger and do not like falling pages. The book cover is a gray board with a thickness of 1MM-3MM. Paste the finely printed thin paper on the gray board to form a bookcase, and then glue the backing paper on the bookcase. The printed hardcover book cannot be bent, but they can be spread out at 180 degrees and appear high-grade. Generally, the printed hardcover books are thick and beautiful due to the hardcover.
The difference between hardcover book printing and softcover cover book printing is mainly in the binding method and material selection requirements. If someone tells you that the book printing color difference of the softcover can be larger than that of the hardcover, this is a wrong analysis.
For professional book printing companies in China, such as China Printing Export, they will let you know that regardless of whether the hardcover book printing or the softcover book printing, the printing requirements must pass the FROGA39 test to confirm the color and to ensure that the printed product minimizes color difference. The real distinction between softcover book printing and hardcover book printing is the difference in the binding process.
