Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Printster.in supports single-copy paperback printing with no minimum order quantity, making it ideal for author proofs, self-publishing, and small print runs. You only pay for the copies you need.
Paperback books use perfect binding (also called square-spine binding), where pages are glued to a wraparound cover. This binding works best for books of 48 pages up to around 800 pages; very thin books below 48 pages are better suited to saddle-stitch or centre-staple binding.
Interior pages are available in 70 GSM or 90 GSM maplitho (for B&W) and 130 GSM or 170 GSM art paper (for colour). Covers are typically printed on 300 GSM art card and can be finished with gloss lamination, matte lamination, or soft-touch lamination.
Upload a print-ready PDF with all fonts embedded, images at minimum 300 DPI, and a separate PDF for the cover (including spine and back cover laid flat). Bleed and crop marks should be included as per the size you select.
Standard turnaround for paperback books is typically 5–7 business days for printing, with pan-India delivery adding 2–5 business days depending on your location. Rush and Express print tiers are available at checkout for faster production.
