I have finished artwork, spine measurements, and back-cover copy ready to go; what I need is a production-savvy designer who can assemble everything into a single, print-ready PDF that IngramSpark will accept on the first upload. The job is strictly for paperback covers—no dust jacket—so your focus will be on laying out the front, spine, and back to the exact dimensions I supply, adding bleeds, and exporting to the correct color profile and PDF/X standard that IngramSpark requires. I’ll provide a brief with my visual guidelines, fonts, and color values so you can match the look of the interior and existing marketing materials. Please stay true to those assets while handling the technical side: spine width calculation, barcode placement, safe zones, and any fine-tuning needed if their preflight tool flags an issue. Deliverable: • One press-ready PDF that passes IngramSpark’s pre-press check without warnings If you work in Adobe InDesign or Affinity Publisher and are comfortable troubleshooting IngramSpark templates, this should be a quick, clean project. Let me know your turnaround time and any questions you need answered before you start.

Hi there, I’ve read your IngramSpark paperback cover project and I’m confident I can deliver a precise, print-ready PDF on the first upload. With 8+ years of print design experience, I’ve managed spine width calculations, bleeds, color profiles, and PDF/X exports for IngramSpark templates across fiction and non-fiction titles. I’ll adapt your provided artwork, spine measurements, and back-cover copy to a single, production-ready spread that matches your visual guidelines, fonts, and color values while ensuring the file passes IngramSpark’s preflight without warnings. What I’ll do: - Build the cover in your chosen app (InDesign or Affinity Publisher) to exact dimensions with safe zones and bleed. - Calculate spine width accurately and place the barcode where you specify. - Export to the correct PDF/X standard and color profile, perform a preflight pass, and fine-tune any flagged items. - Deliver one clean press-ready PDF with embedded fonts and high-resolution imagery. Turnaround: quick and clean, typically 1-2 business days after you share the final assets and any template notes. What is your preferred workflow for InDesign vs. Affinity Publisher, and are there any non-standard barcodes or publisher-specific requirements I should anticipate for your project?
