Why can't I use Standard Color ink for KDP hardcover books?
KDP does not offer Standard Color ink for hardcover (case laminate) format. For hardcover books, you can choose B&W on White, B&W on Cream, or Premium Color on White. If you need color printing in hardcover, Premium Color is your only option.
