Are you self-publishing your book—going the full DIY route—including arranging for your own printing? Do you need a book printer?
There are many book printers in the U.S. and Canada, but no simple way to determine which is best for you. It takes some digging to find the one with the right combination of skills, services, and price. To help, I’ve prepared this list of more than 70 printers in the U.S. and Canada.
For each, you’ll find the company name, website, and the type of printing they offer, if indicated on their website: digital printing (D), offset (O), web press (WP), short run (SR), and print-on-demand (POD). To learn more about these printing terms, read my post titled “10 Book Printing Definitions.”
NOTE: This list is not meant to be an endorsement of any company, but just a way for you to start your search for a printer. The list is current as of April, 2019.
