1. Reasonable selection of binding materials

我们在为画册印刷品选择封面用料的时候，就要应该控制使用一些皮、棉、麻、丝、毛等织品，尽可能的使用漆纸或漆布等物代替，坚韧的纸，除特殊需要外，尽量避免用真金箔作烫印材料，可用电化铝、色片等代替，以降低图书成本。

When selecting cover materials for album prints, we should control the use of some leather, cotton, hemp, silk, wool and other fabrics, and replace them with lacquer paper or lacquer cloth as much as possible. For tough paper, except for special needs, try to avoid using real gold foil as hot stamping materials, and use electrochemical aluminum and color chips to reduce the cost of books.

2、合理确定画册印刷封面尺寸

2. Reasonably determine the size of the printed cover of the album

首先要合理进行版面设计。设计文字稿时，正文字体的大小、行间的疏密，四周留空白的宽窄，标题的占行和空行等，都与画册成本有关。在版数、纸张、装订等各个环节上，我们都可能使公司画册印刷的成本降低。当然，还可以尽可能地节约纸张材料以降低画册成本。

First of all, we should reasonably carry out layout design. When designing a text manuscript, the size of the text font, the density between lines, the width of the blank around, the occupation of lines and blank lines of the title are all related to the cost of the album. In terms of edition number, paper, binding and other links, we may reduce the cost of the company's album printing. Of course, you can also save paper materials as much as possible to reduce the cost of the album.

3、正确选择画册印刷工艺

3. Correct selection of album printing process

用B-B式胶印机比单色胶印机速度快且画册印刷费用低。如果对于画册印刷质量要求较高的画册，我们尽可能选用双色或四色胶印机画册印刷;对有较大实地的如年画、图书的前后环衬等均应使用单色胶印机画册印刷，其画册印刷质量较好。如果我们对于一般的32开或16开的单、双色的图书，印数在5万册以上的，一般安排轮转机画册印刷。因为轮转机速度快而且印出的图书页子己经折好，画册印刷费用又比平板纸画册印刷机的为低。

B-B offset press is faster than monochrome Offset Press and costs less for album printing. For the album with high requirements for album printing quality, we try to use two-color or four-color offset printing machine for album printing; For those with large field, such as New Year pictures, front and rear ring linings of books, monochrome Offset printing machine shall be used for picture album printing, and the picture album printing quality is good. If we print more than 50000 copies of ordinary 32kai or 16kai single and two-color books, we generally arrange rotary machine picture album printing. Because the rotary machine is fast and the printed book pages have been folded, the cost of album printing is lower than that of flat paper album printing machine.

4、合理进行画册印刷版面设计

4. Reasonable layout design of album printing

与图书成本版面设计有关的因素有很多，比如行间的疏密，四周留空白的宽窄，设计文字稿时，正文字体的大小，标题的占行和空行等原因，降低图书的成本在版数、纸张、装订等各个环节上都是可以的。我们所说的这样做法并不是排得愈密愈好，譬如儿童读物，字不能太小，行距不能太窄。

There are many factors related to the book layout design, such as the density between lines, the width of the blank around, the size of the text font, the occupation of lines and empty lines of the title, etc. when designing the text draft, it is possible to reduce the cost of books in various links such as edition number, paper, binding, etc. We are not saying that the denser the arrangement, the better. For example, for children's books, the words should not be too small and the line spacing should not be too narrow.
