#WritingCommunity who use #IngramSpark or people general #POD experience — advice needed re colour range for printing.

The ebook cover for my next release is mildly yellow; the print version comes out pretty much white. This has happened with a couple of previous books (apparently I like a pale cream colour in my covers), and I’ve let it roll, but I’d prefer this one to maintain a stronger yellow.

In the interests of not spending $30 a go (postage is a killler here) in adjusting the colour and ordering the proof, is there some way of knowing at what point the colour will be dark enough to be obvious?

(I was going to include a photo, but ironically enough, a cover that looks white to the naked eye comes out cream in the photo 🤷‍♀️)

On Friday, I asked my #POD printer to send me a bunch of samples of hardcover, softcover, B&W, and color printing on all their papers and bindings. They sent me about a dozen sample books of various sizes that showcase their work.

It's been about 10 years since I published a book. I know that #SelfPublishing is a much bigger thing now. But I've also heard complaints about POD quality. I'm VERY PLEASED with what I've seen in the past and what I'm seeing now from Lightning Source. (1/2)
