If you do not upload a print file for your spine it will be left blank. The spine depth is calculated and displayed in the shopping cart. The spine should be supplied as a separate file when uploading single pages. However, we ask for an extra 0.25" to be added to the front and back covers, placed either side of the spine depth in your design. If you are uploading a cover spread, you do not need to supply a separate spine file. The spine will also need a 0.8" bleed at the top and bottom. Please do not include any important content within this area.
To make the cover, we need a very large bleed area on the front,īack and spine. The cover on hardback books overhangs the inner pages. There is a choice of Endpapers - either solid white or black.

Besides a few frustrating steps that can easily be fixed with a few changes, I had a great experience and will be using Mixam again in the future when I have printing needs!
Overall, the customer service was extremely helpful every step of the way and I was thrilled with the final products that were delivered. I was also messaged and told my books were being shipped on a specific day, and then I reached out a day after and was then told there were additional delays. I'm glad I was told to rename the files, but it should be made very clear before uploading (it is not) as it was tedious to rename all of my pages. I was told to rename my files or else it could cause issues with the printing order. First, it should be made extremely clear (before uploading) that file names should be short and specific such as "page 1" "page 2" etc. I did have some criticism based on my experience. Overall, I am extremely happy with the final products I received and they are well deserving of a 5 star review.
