How to Fix Lulu Manuscript Health Issues

If someone mentions a Lulu health issue, they almost always mean PDF health for print: font embedding, image resolution, transparency that may not rasterize cleanly, and similar preflight warnings — not your health and not spellcheck.

Lulu’s print pipeline rewards files that behave predictably on press. Catching font and image risks before you order a proof is cheaper than reprinting — and calmer than debugging in the middle of launch week.

InkAlign combines readiness-style reporting with margin, bleed, and gutter correction for standard paperback trims used with Lulu, KDP, IngramSpark, and Blurb-class workflows. We are proud that authors call InkAlign their safety net — run the free scan on every interior before you trust the uploader.
