Endsheet Standards
At PrintNinja, our standard endsheets use 95 lb. uncoated white stock. All hardcover book projects must have six pages added to the page count to account for endsheets even if you want them to be completely blank. In addition, in order to ensure quality and durability, all hardcover book projects must have endsheets. While custom options are available, we recommend using 95 lb. uncoated stock for endsheets to prevent bubbling and other quality issues. After some extensive testing, weve found that 95 lb. uncoated stock holds up best to the special adhesives used to mount the book to the back of the casebinding.
Endsheet Options
Some people prefer endsheets to be completely blank and thats ne. Our high quality uncoated stock will shine incredibly well on its own. That said, endsheets are also a great way to add a special touch to your project and we can produce a few additional options. First, endsheets can be printed any solid color you want. Most creators will select a color that matches or complements the cover design, but its entirely up to you. Another option is to print a design or illustration on your endsheets. One common technique is to use a pattern or tiled image, sometimes ghosted against a colored background, but really any design or pattern can be printed on it. When deciding on a solid color or design for your endsheets, keep in mind that the stock mostly likely will be dierent from the stock youre using for your inside pages, which can have a slight aect on how colors appear. In general, colors appear less vibrant on uncoated stock. The nal option is to use a textured or special paper stock for your endsheets. Depending on the stock selected, you may be able to print on the endsheets as well for even more possibilities, but some papers may not hold up well to being printed on.

What Order?
A common question is how endsheets aect placement of title pages, copyright pages and other elements inside the book. While there is no single correct answer, here are some common options (all examples assume page counting starts with the front cover as Page 1 and back cover is considered a page). Page Arrangement Scenario A: Make pages 2, 3 and 4 your endsheets, either left blank, printed a solid color or with a design. Page 5 becomes your title page. Page 6 would typically be left blank in this setup, but could also be used for copyright, credits, dedication or other miscellaneous content, with the real content of the book starting on Page 7. Page Arrangement Scenario B: Make pages 2, 3 and 4 your endsheets, either left blank, printed a solid color or with a design. Page 5 becomes your rst title page or dedication page. Page 6 becomes your credits or copyright page and Page 7 becomes a second title page or dedication page. Page 8 may be left blank or used for miscellaneous content, with the main content starting on Page 9. Page Arrangement Scenario C: Make pages 2 and 3 your endsheets, either left blank, printed a solid color or with a design. Page 4 is used as a copyright or credits page (keep in mind this will be on endsheet stock) and Page 5 becomes your title page and Page 6 is left blank or used for another purpose. Page 7 would be your rst page of main content. For the end of the book, its common to end content on the left facing page (the fth to last page), followed by endsheets on the fourth to last, third to last and second to last pages. Some creators opt to leave the fth to last page blank, as well. When considering your conguration, consider that title pages are typically on the right side of the book (odd numbered pages) while copyright pages tend to be on the left (even numbered pages). Its also traditional to start the main content on the right side (an odd numbered page). Keep in mind, however, that these are just guidelines and every project is unique!
