ROES Ordering Information
Books
Orders placed directly to WHCC will come through our Remote Order Entry Software (ROES). ROES is not a design tool; therefore, you'll be uploading final spreads in ROES to complete your order.
Use the Book Catalog to choose the style of Book you want to order and then select a size, cover option, paper option, and other features to start the order.

File Prep & Templates

Accepted Files
Prepare your work for printing by saving high-quality JPEG files with an embedded color profile.
- Export files tagged with an RGB Color Profile—P3, Adobe RGB, and sRGB are all great options.
- We recommend saving your files at a JPEG quality of 10 or higher in Photoshop, 90% in Lightroom, or the equivalent in your editing tool.
- Most products are printed at 300 DPI, and we’ll automatically resize your files for printing. For more precise control, you can resize your files and apply any sharpening before submitting.

About Softcover Books
Perfect Binding is what sets this apart from our other book lines.
This binding style is when pages are adhered to the cover along the spine to create a strong yet flexible spine with a clean profile. Please note images placed along the seam will extend into the gutter.
Softcover books are great marketing tools, from a printed what to expect guide or style guide for a high school senior or marketing brochures created in partnership with local vendors to show potential clients your best work.
