Book Printing
BOOK PRINTING
We specialize in short-run book printing for self-published authors
and have printed thousands of books for individuals, businesses, and small book publishers. From cover design to book printing, Megatron Print provides for all yourself-publishing needs and helps make your dream of being a published author a reality.
We specialize in one-color page printing (interior pages) in two popular book sizes (5 ½" x 8 ½" and 8 ½" x 11"). We offer full-color printing of pages (no bleeds) as an option.
Profit is not always the primary objective of writing a book. Your book may be designed to explore your own interests or to fill specific needs of an organization, a business, or your family.
Traditional publishing companies prefer books that will interest the mass market and will usually not accept a work intended for a small audience. Megatron Print can print quantities of 50 - 5,000 copies very economically so you can publish a book that meets your objectives.
