First, make sure the whole job is printed! Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? I know someone who sent a 32-page hardcover children's book she wrote and I designed to an overseas printer. When it came back, she brought one to me because she was so happy...I turned the pages..."you know they forgot to print one of the signatures?" The book was done as Signature 1 (a and b) and Signature 2 (a and b), and they forgot to print signature 1b. She was not happy. Other things: make sure all the pages that are supposed to be in the job, are--you see this one on books that have, say, seven sigs and the printing plant's gathering machine has six pockets. You compensate for the machine's shortcoming by putting the seventh sig on the chain before it goes through the pockets. make sure the color's good make sure there's no "ghosting" of black ink on the pages make sure the job's on the right paper--you do this BEFORE you print it! make sure it's imposed right
