Printing FAQ
Short answers about ordering printed copies. The other pages in this section go into the detail.
Questions
- Who can order printed copies?
- Anyone signed in to ColorCraft can order printed copies of a book they made here. The book needs a cover designed in the cover editor first, and the cover editor is part of the paid plans (and the free trial).
- Which books can be printed?
- Coloring books, puzzle books and storybooks. Coloring and puzzle books print in black and white on white paper; storybooks print in colour. A book can have up to 100 printed pages (48 for a colour book), and its trim size has to be one we print.
- What formats are there?
- A paperback (perfect-bound) with 32 to 800 pages, or a stapled (saddle-stitched) booklet with 4 to 48 pages, each with a matte or gloss cover.
- How much does it cost?
- Your total is the printing cost at cost, shipping and handling at cost, a flat ColorCraft service fee, the sales tax the printer charges on the job, plus sales tax where ColorCraft is registered. You see the exact total before you pay; the format step shows an estimate per copy as you choose.
- How many copies can I order?
- 1 to 25 copies per order. For more, place another order.
- Where do you ship?
- To addresses in the United States. Street addresses can choose Standard mail, Ground or Expedited; PO boxes can choose Standard mail or Priority mail.
- Who prints the books?
- A professional print-on-demand partner prints and ships them. Your order is placed with ColorCraft; payment is taken on Stripe’s secure checkout page, and ColorCraft handles support.
- How long does it take?
- Printing starts once your payment goes through. The delivery estimate for the shipping option you chose is shown before you pay, on the Orders page, and in your confirmation email; once your books ship, the tracking number replaces it.
- Can I cancel an order?
- Only before printing starts, about 2 hours after you order. Email hello@colorcraft.ai with your order number as soon as you can. A cancelled order is refunded in full to the card you paid with.
- My book arrived damaged or misprinted. What now?
- Email hello@colorcraft.ai within 30 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the problem, and we will put it right with a reprint or a refund.
- Does this replace the KDP export?
- No. The KDP export is still there, unchanged. Printed copies are for holding your book in your hands — a proof before your KDP launch, or copies for family, a classroom or an event — without listing on Amazon.
