Printer's crease? 0

[ordmantell77]

I'm wondering if this is something that would effect a grade, I just got this book from my local shop so I think the crease is from the printer, manufacturer, etc. but it runs the length of the cover.

I'm not sure if this is what is considering breaking the color of the ink or not.

I normally just search forums for a topic that matches mine but I have covid and thus some time to kill, so I figured I'd give posting a try!

I don't see any colour breaking. I wouldn't call this a printer's crease.

I concur.

Welcome To The Boards!!!

To me that appears to be a crease from folding the book, almost like a subscription crease but it does not break color.

Color breaking is when the color layer has been lost and the white paper substrata becomes visible.

Here are examples of "printer creases" I found online.

^ Yup...those are printer creases

For your book, is there slight colour loss where I have circled? If so you might get a 9.4-9.6 on such a book. Check inside cover too to see if the crease is notable and affects anything.

A quick press should help but I cannot see the entire crease or how the FC looks on the inside. I have submitted quite a few books with similar folds and no color breaks. Fortunately, the pressing turned out great results.
