Fact Sheet

COVER FINISHING CHOICES

Malloy Standard Cover Finishing Options: Gloss or matte layflat film lamination: The Malloy standard is nylon-based, 1.2 mil layflat film lamination. Precision Spot Gloss: Layflat gloss film lamination is applied to the cover or jacket and then a matte overcoating is applied on press to the areas of the cover that are intended to have a matte finish. It is called Precision because we are applying the matte over-coating on a press rather than a coater or a screen printing process and we have the ability to achieve very tight registration. Layflat film lamination with matte scuff-resistant treatment: Layflat gloss film lamination is applied to the cover or jacket and then a matte overcoating is applied on press to the entire cover which results in a durable, scuff-resistant, layflat matte finish. This offers the best scuff-resistance of all the matte finishes. Gloss or matte U.V. coating: Costs less than film lamination but is not as durable. Special Order or Outside Source: Matte polypropylene film lamination: This special order film is best suited for dust jackets as it is not layflat. Post linen embossing: Layflat gloss or matte film lamination is applied and immediately embossed with a linen finish using a special roller. Since this process requires special equipment that we do not have at Malloy, we have an outside source that provides this service. Other in-house options: With a full range of colors to choose from, this can be used on cloth or in combination with U.V. or film lamination on hard cover and soft cover books. A stamping die is necessary. Embossing or debossing: A process which utilizes a metal die in the shape of the type and / or graphic to create a raised impression (embossing) or depression (debossing). A die is necessary. Foil stamping: Definitions: Film is laminated to the cover or jacket by passing under pressure between two rollers while heat is applied to activate the adhesive on one side of the film. Film lamination is our highest quality and most durable coating. The process of applying a liquid chemical coating and immediately exposing the coated sheet under ultraviolet light to cure the coating. A surface that is smooth and shiny. A low-gloss finish with little or no reflective quality. Resistant to curling. The ability of film lamination to resist scuffing on the surface of the film. All films will scuff to some degree. The scuffing will be more apparent and noticeable on covers that are dark colors.

eBook Conversion and Distribution

SIMPLE AND EASY Malloy offers a simple process through which publishers can have a print book converted to an eBook. The publisher selects a book to be converted and the desired file formats, and Malloy takes it from there. OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS PUBLISHER After making the decision to have an eBook converted, the publisher starts the process by visiting myMalloy (www.myMalloy.com) and selecting Make an eBook. The order form clearly displays pricing information, so the publisher can make selections and easily see the price of each selection. The publisher will submit an order by: selecting a book to be converted from a list of titles previously printed or currently being printed at Malloy, or uploading new text and cover files to be converted selecting the eBook conversion type ePub, Mobipocket, and Universal PDF selecting eBook retailers Apple, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Sony, and Return to Publisher entering metadata (information about your eBook that is used by retailers) if choosing distribution to any retailers After completing the order form, the publisher will have an opportunity to review the selections and make any necessary changes. Once everything looks correct, the order can be submitted. MALLOY After receiving an order, Malloy locates and organizes the print files, combines the files with the metadata, and sends everything to our conversion partner. The conversion process takes approximately 10 business days. If the publisher has asked Malloy to act on their behalf to distribute files to retailers, separate files will be optimized for each retailer during the conversion process. Once the conversion process is complete, Malloy will notify the publisher by email that files are ready. The email will include a direct link to a secure location in myMalloy, where the publisher can access their eBook files. The online location for downloading files is available only to people with access to the publishers information in myMalloy. If eBook distribution has been requested, Malloy will transmit the converted files, along with the relevant metadata, to the end retailer. The distribution process typically takes two to three business days. [Note: Once Malloy has distributed files successfully to the retailers, those retailers may take additional steps, such as verifying the copyright ownership for the files. That process is controlled entirely by the retailers and its duration is unpredictable. It is not uncommon for several weeks to elapse before the retailers make an eBook file available for sale.] If the publisher has earned extended payment terms through their credit history, Malloy will send an invoice for the charges incurred throughout the process. PUBLISHER The publisher can download copies of all converted files right away. The publisher can distribute the files to retailers if they have established sales agreements and if Malloy has not already performed that step for them; or they can place the files on their own website for sale or distribution.
