Mine was on the expensive side, because I had no one helping me proofread, and thus I made several dumb errors that required new files to the printer. Also, I printed the book on Mohawk Superfine, which is a pricey sheet. Furthermore, I used a spot 5th color, and the cover has gatefolds front and back. All things that rack up the bill. Without the errors and the bells/whistles, I could've knocked this out for $2k or a little less.
P.S.—If you go the Indigo route, don't put a dark solid on your cover, that is unless you use a coated paper and get a guarantee up front from the printer that there will be no cracking. Dark solids are OK for inside text pages.
- FYI, the newer Indigo presses can run up to two PMS colors, with the exception of metallics and fluorescent colors.gramme
