Printster vs Vistaprint India
Two different jobs. Catalogue checked on 31 August 2026.
Vistaprint India does not offer document or thesis printing at all — their catalogue is business cards, flyers, banners and stationery. If you have a PDF, a dissertation or a set of notes to print and bind, Printster is the one that does it, from ₹0.38 a page with 12 binding types.

Why there are no competing page rates here
Vistaprint India's published catalogue does not list a document, thesis or per-page printing service. We checked their published categories rather than assuming: as of 31 August 2026 they cover business cards, flyers, banners, invitations and announcements, wedding stationery, custom stamps, office supplies, notebooks and diaries, letterheads, bill books, envelopes and passport photographs. None of that is priced per page. So this page is not about who is cheaper — it is about which service prints documents. That is us.
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Sizes most printers do not quote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.
