Osmania University, founded in 1918 and located in the heart of Hyderabad, is one of the oldest universities in India and an affiliating body for numerous colleges across Telangana. Students across faculties — Science, Arts, Commerce, Law, Engineering and Pharmacy — regularly need printed notes, compiled readings, project reports and bound dissertations. The printing shops around the Osmania campus in Amberpet and Tarnaka, and near affiliated colleges in Secunderabad and Nampally, get particularly crowded before semester-end submission dates. Printster offers OU students an online print service they can access from any Hyderabad location: upload a PDF or Word document, set your print specifications, choose a binding style if needed, and pay securely via UPI or card. The printed document is couriered directly to your hostel room, home or PG accommodation across Hyderabad.

Dissertations and Research Projects
Osmania University's postgraduate programmes — M.A., M.Sc, M.Com and MBA — require dissertation submissions at the end of the final year. These typically run 80–120 pages and need to be submitted in at least two bound copies. Printster prints and binds all copies from a single file upload and ships them together. Soft-cover perfect binding from ₹110 and hard-cover binding are both available.
Seminar Papers and Course Notes
Under-graduate and postgraduate students across OU's Arts and Social Science departments frequently print seminar papers, annotated bibliographies and compiled lecture notes for study. B&W printing from ₹0.60/page makes printing a 60-page reading packet cost under ₹40. For Pharmacy and Science students, selective colour printing (from ₹3.36/page) covers diagrams and tables.
Law and Commerce Reports
Osmania's Faculty of Law and Commerce produce practical project reports — company law case studies, tax law practicals and economic surveys. These are generally 40–80 pages, typically submitted with spiral or soft-cover binding. spiral binding from ₹40 suits these submission formats.
