Please note:
- In general, small-volume printing tends to be more expensive compared to large volume printing but eliminates the need to invest in large printing costs and store large inventory. We print in quantities starting from one unit i.e. we do not have a minimum order quantity
- Books can be printed in any of the size options listed here. Books can also be listed in other intermittent sizes. However the sizes listed are those that cause minimum wastage of paper
- The binding options mostly used are a)Perfect Binding (or paperbacks), b)Case Binding (hardcovers on which matter is printed) and c) Hard Cover with Dust Jacket (where a paper cover wraps around the book). Casewrap with a dust jacket is also provided. Saddle stitching is also an option for books, as is centre-stapling, especially when the book has fewer than 64 pages
- Other forms of binding that can be offered are: spiral, comb and double-loop wire. These are recommended for technical manuals or other thick books in order to improve usability of the book (the book can be opened up flat)
The standard paper that will be used for the inside pages 70gsm, creme, Seshasayee book print paper. Maplitho paper, which is wood free, is also an option. If any other paper is desired, please enquire. We will attempt to provide it for you - If you do not avail of our typesetting service, we prefer to receive the file as a ready-to-print PDF set in the book dimensions that are finally desired. Please provide a file in which each PDF page corresponds to a single page in the book
