REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

If the print on demand quote which you are requesting, is for a publication which will have its first print run in Spain as a result, Publidisa will take care of registration requirements. If on the other hand the print on demand quote is for a reprint of your publication already published in Spain you must indicate its "legal deposit" Code.


COLLECTIONS

If you wish, your publications can be divided into collections. For this, the collections need to be created before the process of publishing starts. The creation and modification of collections is done from the web site at: Publications/ Collections.


PRINTING INFORMATION

To make a print on demand quote we require certain information about the publication. Publidisa establishes some general specifications for all types of publication. However, if a publication has a characteristic not included in the established specifications, consult our sales department .


COVER FLAPS

If you request print on demand for a publication with flaps the minumum order is 200 copies.
