ID was recommended to me by a friend who has used their services to publish several books. Mine was a one-off end of work memoir so I had no prior publishing experience, but the communication and responsiveness of this company were excellent throughout and the final result was a book I am well pleased with. Their standards are high, the turnaround quick, and they do what they say they will do. I recommend them highly.

I wrote a course and wanted to turn it into a textbook. It was so hard to find a provider that would help me make this a reality for an affordable price and with the more niche format I had. Imprint Digital went above and beyond to answer all my questions and make it all happen. The final product looks great and they even gave me 2 extra copies without an additional charge. Could not be happier!

I rarely call a business outstanding, but Imprint Digital have proven on more than one occasion that they are the best printers in the UK. My first print run last year was perfect - I received a proof copy and then went ahead with a short print run. This time around, my order had a very short deadline, due to a bookshop offering to stock my new title. I got in touch and placed an order, and the team went above and beyond to help me meet the deadline.

Not only that, but even without a printed proof copy this time around (due to time constraints on my end), the books still look absolutely perfect. This company have my loyalty for life, and I wouldn't consider any other printer when it comes to my next projects. Thank you to the whole team.

Imprint Digital provided exemplary service. Immediate responses, extremely clear quotes and directions for how to prepare the manuscript, and very rapid turnaround. My friend and client now has a book of memories to treasure, and to share with her two granddaughters, of a quality well beyond her hopes. A dream come true for her.

The service provided by ImprintDigital is just brilliant. They answered important questions in the preparation stage, turned around a printed proof in a couple of days and delivered the books speedily, as promised. The quality is impressive. I'm so pleased I chose ImprintDigital for my book.

I just finished my autobiography after ten years. I was going to publish on various sites. Finally I found ImprintDigital.com, what a fantastic company. Quality is first class, service matches the Quality. Evie and David and Print Team are amazing. The costs were very competitive with all the competitors. So thank you so much this is my second order of 100 books. Regards

We came to Imprint Digital after much searching on the web and having previously had a proof made by one of the big online, self-publishing companies. Right from the get-go, the company were very responsive, provided us with a sample of their work and a very useful guidebook, that helps newbies like us. They were also very patient, answering many questions from someone who knows little about the print process. The final product did not disappoint, on time, well packed, high quality and at a competitive price. Would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a small book run.

Since discovering ImprintDigital a few years ago we have used them time and time again. Their response times, customer service, quality of their work, price and delivery times are second to none. Every title they have printed for us has been top quality and made our work look excellent.

Having now published more than a dozen books printed by ImprintDigital, all I can say is I wish I had discovered their services years ago. Books of the very highest quality produced without fuss or problem, I do hot hesitate in recommending their remarkable service. Had an enjoyable time being shown around the place a couple of years ago, high-tec in a sleepy Devon village.

We are happy with the quality of the work. The only problem was that our "green light" to proceed was not passed on and it took a further phone call to get things moving. Nothing serious! We shall use your services again when we need to.

The services provided by Imprint Digital are outstanding. They have taken on a number of projects from me over the last few years that I know have not been 'the norm', many requiring complex additions to the manufacture process. Nevertheless, Imprint have never failed to meet the desired outcome, and have more commonly surpassed my hopes and expectations upon the project's completion! They also offer wonderful customer service that goes above and beyond. I cannot recommend this company enough!

David and his team have been fantastic to work with. Very quick responses, very helpful, fast delivery and beautiful products (in my case several hundred copies of a poetry anthology of around 100 pages). Can highly recommend and will work this Imprint Digital again. Alexandra Loske (The Frogmore Press)

I highly recommend Imprint Digital. I have used them three times now and each time the service and quality of their work has been excellent. This last time we had tight deadlines to meet as we needed the hardback copies of our new book in time for launching at the London Book Fair. They didn't let us down but delivered with time to spare. We are really pleased with the end result and, every aspect of working with Imprint Digital has been a pleasure.

Every email has been answered promptly and I've never been left wondering. The prices are competitive, but for us the communication, quality and timing are more important than price. Thank you imprint Digital - 100% reliability!
