The ARC printing process typically starts with file preparation, where you submit your book’s files in a suitable format (usually PDF).

Kase Prepress quality control checks are performed, proofs are generated and provided for final approval, followed by the actual printing and binding using advanced printing and binding technologies to ensure nothing less than premium quality ARC’s.
