Diagnostic Sonography for Elsevier showcases the company’s ability to produce single-colour medical books where students can scribble on the margins to make notes. 5,000 copies were printed on Khanna Grafika paper.
The Spawn of Venus for Fantagraphics Books showcases Replika’s ability to produce single-colour comic images perfectly. The highlight of the job is the cover, which is a mix of uncoated paper and special covering material. 3,200 copies were printed.
Daily Light Morning and Evening Devotional for HarperCollins Christian Publishing is special for Replika because it was the first time the company produced perimeter stitching on a complete case, bound on a 2.5-mm board. It took many trials and errors. This, along with foiling and gilding, gives the book a premium look. 2,500 copies were printed.
The Bloomsbury Student Planner (2,500 copies) highlights Replika’s capability to produce flexibound jobs with rounded corners, elastic closures and ribbons.
