ZENITH
layflat / pigment inkjet print

​DESIGN YOUR BOOK

​ZENITH Classic is our most standard lay-flat book. It is printed in inkjet technique with archival UV pigment inks in 4 colours (Standard Quality Print) or 9 colours (FineArt Quality Print). Inkjet print technique results in vivid and sharp colours. ​Images are printed on large format printer on to the single sheets which are carefully folded and bound by hand. Each double spread opens out flat with an almost invisible crease so you can showcase your very best photographic art across two pages. We use pigment-based archival inks, so the crease will keep its discreet nature and, unlike silver halide, won’t discolour over time. And, we use non-yellowing archival glue to assemble our books. Spreads are protected with protective sheets in between to keep your book safe. The quality remains the same as the first time it was opened.

FINISHING OPTIONS FOR YOUR BOOKS

Book Cloth
We offer great selection of book cloths from one of the finest manufacturers in Italy, Japan & China.

Debossing
Text debossing is our base-level debossing option. We offer 2 fonts including serif and sans-serif options. You can choose up to two lines of phrasing. 
Custom debossing allows you to create your own design and fonts specific to each album. We offer two sizes for custom debossing. Large designs can measure up to   8 x 15 cm and small designs up to  5 x 10 cm.
Blind debossing is our default debossing style. When covers are blind debossed, it means that no color or foil is added to the stamp. 
Hot foil debossing is available as well. Color options include metallic gold, silver, red, green and black. 

Transfer Print
If your cover needs custom text we can offer another great solution. A special foil is bonded with the linen and it works great even with textured and rough fabric. It is  somehow similar to debossing but with flat surface. Available in gold, ...

Laser Engraving
Another creative solution for personalization is laser engraving. By using focused laser beam, we are able to burn into the fabric or wood. The final effect depends very much on fabric type. Please check our ...

Cameo on Linen
Our most popular personalisation option is cover photo. Book cover has an aperture cut out of the front cover to display a  photo of your choice printed on fine art paper.
Second possibility of our cameo on linen is Pandora wood plate, wood plate with high quality laser engraving and possibility of gold colour, mounted on linen
