One licensee informed me of a good and affordable print shop for printing the Mastering ArchiMate book in a professional form (so, edge-to-edge, full color, spiral bound). It is Pixart Printing and he gave me the correct settings which I pass on here.
I have seen the results and they look good. So, for all of you who want to print multiple professional copies (I guess 10 and up will already give competetive prices), you can try Pixart Printing. Here are the settings the other licensee used and which gave good results.
