Book Printing in Imphal

Print your book in Imphal

Printing a book used to mean a print run you had to sell. It does not any more: Printster prints from your PDF at any quantity, from a single author copy to a run of a thousand, and couriers the finished books to Imphal. Authors, publishers, coaching institutes and companies all use the same route.

Delivery to Imphal in 5 to 10 working days, counted from the next working day after the order is confirmed. Hard cover, soft cover and glue-tape binding add one to two extra working days. Cash on Delivery is not available — payment is taken online before the job goes to print.

What a print run actually costs

The printing scales and the binding does not. A 200-page A5 novel is Rs 76 of printing at Rs 0.38 a page, or Rs 68 at Rs 0.34 on 100 copies or more, plus Rs 110 a copy for perfect binding. A hundred copies of that book is roughly Rs 17,800 before GST and delivery. The calculator gives the exact figure against your own page count. We currently reach 5 pincodes in Imphal, and parcels for this zone spend the full published window once dispatched.

Choosing the trim size

A5 is the natural novel and handbook size and costs Rs 0.38 a page against A4 at Rs 0.60. A4 suits technical books, manuals, workbooks and anything with diagrams, tables or code. Decide before you typeset, because reflowing a finished book into a different trim size moves every page break in it. Imphal is inside our top two hundred destinations by volume, at number 153 on 113 orders delivered.

Spine width and the cover

Spine width follows page count and paper GSM, and the spine calculator on printster.in gives the exact measurement. Design the cover to that figure — a spine set 3 mm too narrow puts the title round the corner onto the front board. Supply the cover as its own file rather than as page one of the text PDF. 3 different printing products have been ordered to Imphal so far, which is why the rate card below covers more than the one job you came for.

Proof one copy before the run

Order a single copy from the final PDF and read it in your hand: the gutter, the running heads, the spine, the image pages, the last page. It costs a few hundred rupees and it is the only reliable check on a run of hundreds. Almost every fault that ruins a print run is visible in the first copy. For reference, a typical pdf print job we print for Imphal runs about 143 pages in a single copy.
