Diaries & Journals

Keep life organised with a custom printed diary or journal.

: Gone are the days of forgetting birthdays, double booking and simply not remembering what day it is. Keep all your ideas in one place with a custom printed diary or journal, printed on a range of recycled and responsibly sourced paper stocks.

We square back our staple bound diaries so they sit flat and have a super slick finish. If perfect bound is your thing please note we use a hot melt EVA glue. If you aren’t sure what to go for please get in touch.

If you have dark full coverage images for your cover design, we recommend getting a layer of matt lamination to protect the ink from cracking along the spines of your journals. If you are concerned about this or have any questions, please get in touch, we are happy to advise.

: Unicorn White is perfect for printing bright vibrant colours or photographs.

Beluga Smooth is the best option if you are wanting a satin finish.

Perlino Cotton is great for full colour designs as it flattens off the sheen.

Oribi Straw is perfect for an vintage organic look.

Our P.W Coloured paper range work well with simple monochrome designs.

White Ink is only for our darker coloured paper stocks.
: Note: Perfect bound books with higher page counts can result in decreased artwork visibility in the centre of each spread due to the fold. Because of this, we advise keeping text a minimum of 10mm away from the fold.

Files should be submitted in CMYK colour profile and at 300DPI

Your artwork must be provided at the size you want with a 3mm bleed around every edge of each page, see our helpful bleed guide here.

Your file is to be provided as a multiple page PDF with individual pages, covers can be provided as spreads if artwork wraps around the front and back.

If you want white ink, please provide the file with a white background and the design in a black vector format.

A copy of any aspect of the artwork that is to be printed in metallic should be included as a spot colour called “Silver” on the top-most layer within the artwork with overprint enabled and supplied as a PDF, AI or PSD file.

Our Papers

Unicorn White

Our trusty Unicorn White stock has been around since day one at PRINT.WORK. It’s part of our core paper range and is suitable for everything from bold colour art prints, business stationery, recyclable flyers and printed postcards.

It’s an uncoated stock made from 100% genuine de-inked post consumer waste and FSC® certified. Made in an industry leading mill to strict ISO 14001 standards for environmental management, our Unicorn White is processed chlorine free (PCF) significantly reducing water contamination from processing.

Finish:

Smooth to the eye, textured to touch. This is our whitest paper that we have available – although worth noting that it is not a bright white stock – it has a more natural finish, with dark flecks throughout.

Pros

Everyday printing
Full colour printing
Affordable art prints
Stationery

Notes

Due to the recycled nature of this stock, flecks may vary between batches

High ink-coverage prints may also experience white specks due to the uncoated recycled nature of the paper.

Large concentrations of ink can give your artwork a slight sheen once printed
