Book Printing in Roorkee

Print your book in Roorkee

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 Roorkee. Authors, publishers, coaching institutes and companies all use the same route.

Delivery to Roorkee 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. Across everything delivered to Roorkee so far, the binding chosen most often is loose sheets with no binding, with soft cover (perfect) binding second.

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. We currently reach 7 pincodes in Roorkee, and parcels for this zone spend about three days on the road once dispatched.

Preparing the interior

One PDF, fonts embedded, images at 300 DPI, page size consistent from first page to last. Set a mirrored gutter of at least 15 mm on the inside edge for perfect binding, or the text runs into the spine. Check that blank versos fall where you intended, because a missing blank shifts every page after it from recto to verso. Roorkee is inside our top two hundred destinations by volume, at number 98 on 189 orders delivered.

Colour interiors

Colour is Rs 3.36 per A4 page double-sided against Rs 0.60 black and white, and a mixed file is priced as colour throughout. For a book with a colour plate section, supply the black-and-white body and the colour plates as separate files and have them bound as one volume — on a 300-page book that is the difference between hundreds and thousands of rupees. 5 different printing products have been ordered to Roorkee 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. Within Uttarakhand we deliver to 16 cities, and Roorkee is number 3 of them by order volume.
