Paper and Printing Options for Kolkata Families
Family history books draw on diverse source material — handwritten letters, census records, archival photographs, and oral histories transcribed into text. Printster's paper options let you match the stock to your content. Heavier coated paper with full-colour printing is the right choice for photograph-rich chapters: it reproduces old sepia portraits and family snapshots with warmth and clarity. Lighter uncoated paper handles text pages cleanly and keeps printed copies manageable in weight. Black-and-white printing is a sensible, economical option for projects where the written narrative and document reproductions outweigh photography.
Binding That Reflects the Importance of Your Family Story
Kolkata families often produce family history books intended to be kept and reread over generations — which makes binding choice significant. Hardcover binding creates a durable, bookshelf-worthy volume with a sturdy cover that protects pages through decades of handling; it is the heirloom choice. Softcover perfect binding produces a clean, professional trade-paperback format — practical for distributing multiple copies to family members across Kolkata or sending to relatives elsewhere in West Bengal. Glue and saddle-stitch binding are available for shorter publications. All binding types add 1–2 working days to production time.
File Preparation and Upload
Printster accepts PDF, DOCX, DOC, PPT, PPTX, JPG, PNG, and ZIP files up to 100 MB. Photo-intensive family history books often exceed 100 MB; for those, share your project via WeTransfer and provide the link at checkout. A single PDF with pages ordered correctly and fonts embedded is the strongly recommended format — it preserves your layout, typography, and image fidelity precisely as designed. Every print includes a margin on all sides, so keep important text and images within the safe zone of your page design; borderless printing is not available.
Delivery to Kolkata and Payment
Once your order is confirmed, Printster prints and dispatches your family history books for delivery to Kolkata in 7–10 working days from the next working day. The delivery network reaches Salt Lake, Park Street, Howrah, New Town, and other localities across the city. Payment is collected online in advance via cards, net banking, or other supported secure gateway options. Cash on delivery is not available. Store pickup is an option for those who prefer to collect their books in person rather than wait for doorstep delivery.
