Before proceeding with the final print run, a proof copy of the book is created. This allows for a thorough review of the layout, design, and content. Authors and publishers can make any necessary corrections or adjustments at this stage to ensure the final product meets their expectations.

Once the proof is approved, the printing process begins. The chosen printing method, whether digital or offset, requires specific setup procedures. This involves calibrating the printing equipment, selecting the appropriate paper stock, and configuring color settings to achieve the desired results.

With the setup complete, the actual printing of the book commences. Pages are printed in large sheets, typically containing multiple pages per sheet. Depending on the printing method, ink is applied directly onto the paper (digital printing) or transferred from plates onto rubber blankets before being pressed onto the paper (offset printing).

After printing, the individual sheets are gathered and organized into the correct sequence. The next step is binding, where the pages are secured together to form a complete book. Common binding methods include perfect binding (adhesive binding), saddle stitching (stapling along the spine), or spiral binding (using coils or wires).

Once bound, the books undergo final trimming to ensure clean edges and uniform dimensions. Additional finishing touches, such as lamination, embossing, or foil stamping, may be applied to enhance the book's appearance and durability. Finally, the finished books are packaged and prepared for distribution to bookstores, retailers, or directly to customers.
