Automated Book-of-One Technology

We import manuscripts and raw data and automatically process them into perfectly typeset book blocks and precisely formatted covers. Using automated "Book-of-One" technology, the system functions as self-publishing software for publishers, automatically converting unstructured customer data into print-ready assets—enabling profitable book projects starting from a single copy.

With risscore | book, we offer publishers and their authors a complete infrastructure for print-on-demand platforms, including professional tools for cover design, automated data validation, and integrated real-time pricing.

Dynamic cover design

Intuitive tools for technically flawless results

The cover is the most important selling point. Enable authors to create professional designs without any graphic design skills. With our editor, your customers can have the spine thickness calculated automatically, as the system adjusts in real time to the page count and the selected paper. While logos and barcodes remain fixed, the realistic 3D preview for book printing lets users see the result immediately. This visual confirmation significantly increases the conversion rate and ensures automated print data generation without manual correction loops.
