How much does printing and binding cost?
As you may expect, printing costs vary according to volume. 99% of our printing is done via commercial-quality laser printers. The unit cost for this type of printing is typically higher than by traditional off-set press, but a traditional press is not cost effective until an author is purchasing a large quantity of books (ie: thousands). To give you an extremely generic idea of cost, an order of 50 books, made up of 200 black and white internal pages with a colour cover should not cost more than about $15 per book to print, and more likely in the $11-$12 range. There are many factors contributing to the cost of printing, including quality of paper, size, and use of colour.
