Printster vs Printo
Document printing compared. Printo figures read from their own product page on 31 August 2026.
Printster publishes a per-page rate card, so you can cost a 300-page thesis before you upload a file. Printo does not publish a per-page rate at all — you have to configure their tool to see a price. For long documents priced in advance, and for university thesis binding, start with us.

Why a published rate card matters
We checked their Custom Document Printing page on 31 August 2026. It shows no per-page rate — the price updates only after you set document type, size, page count, paper, print sides and copies. For a one-off that is fine. For a thesis, a class set or a department run, it means you cannot budget the job until you have already built it in their tool.
Our rates are published up front: A4 black & white is ₹0.60 a page double-sided, ₹0.54 at 100 copies or more, and every binding charge is listed per copy on the rate card.
Why order from Printster
Know the price before you upload
Every per-page rate and binding charge is published on our rate card, by size and paper weight. You can cost a 300-page thesis without creating an account.
Bulk pricing that drops automatically
Order 100 copies or more and A4 black & white falls from ₹0.60 to ₹0.54 a page, and A5 from ₹0.38 to ₹0.34. No negotiation, no quote request.
Sizes most printers do not quote
A5, A4, A3 and B5 all have published rates. A5 double-sided at ₹0.38 a page is the cheapest way to print long study notes.
12 binding types, including university formats
From a ₹2 corner staple to hard binding with golden print on front and spine at ₹350 — the format Indian universities ask for.
One run, one machine
Your whole document prints in a single run on the same paper and press, so page 4 matches page 304.
Digital presses, not inkjet
Documents are printed on digital (toner) presses. Toner is fused to the sheet, so it will not run if the page gets damp and needs no drying time.

Thesis or dissertation
Printster. A 250-page A4 thesis costs about ₹500 before GST with golden-print hard binding, and you can work that out before uploading.
Exam and study notes
Printster. A5 double-sided at ₹0.38 a page, dropping to ₹0.34 at 100+ copies — a size Printo does not quote per page.
Project reports
Printster for several bound copies. Spiral is ₹40 per copy and the page rate is published, so a team submission is easy to split and budget.
A single document
Either. Printo offers same-day collection in four metros; we deliver across India on a 3 to 5 working day process with the price shown before you order.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I see Printo's per-page price before ordering?
- Not from their site — they do not publish a per-page rate. Their document printing product advertises ₹38 including taxes for one quantity, configured as A3, black & white, 70 gsm, single side, unbound. Printster publishes every per-page rate by size and paper weight, so you can cost a job before uploading anything.

- On A4, black & white, double-sided, that is 250 × ₹0.60 = ₹150 for the pages, plus ₹350 for hard binding with golden print on the front and spine — about ₹500 before GST and delivery. You can work that out from our rate card before you upload.
- Do you have bulk pricing?
- Yes, and it applies automatically. At 100 copies or more, A4 black & white double-sided drops from ₹0.60 to ₹0.54 a page, and A5 from ₹0.38 to ₹0.34. No quotation request needed.
