Printing a high-quality book in color is a complex project.  I suggest you
talk with a graphic designer or printing company with experience in this
type of work, either to give you some initial advice or to manage the entire
project.  In Los Angeles, there are lots of people/companies available but
I'm sure you want to keep costs down, so you'll need to find someone who's
familiar with color printing overseas.  If you're looking for references,
contact one of the local art museums who do publishing.

Good luck!

Subject: Professional Printers for Art Books


Hello everyone,

I am an artist's assistant and my boss and I are looking to publish a book
on the subject of 6 artists in the Los Angeles area. We are fairly ignorant
in the area of professional printing of a high quality color art book with
copy. If anyone has any advice or suggestions on printers or just how one
goes about laying out a book of that nature it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.
