Frequently Asked Questions
Printster follows standard Indian university norms: hardbound cover with cloth or leatherette finish, gold or silver foil lettering on the spine and cover, and 75–80 gsm white text pages. If your university has specific cover colour requirements (e.g., maroon, black, or dark blue), mention it in the order notes.
Yes. Single-sided (simplex) printing is available at Printster. Select the single-sided option during order configuration. Note that single-sided printing increases the total page count and may slightly affect cost compared to double-sided (duplex) printing.
Yes. Most Ph.D. scholars require 4–6 copies for the university library, supervisor, examiners, and personal use. Ordering all copies together brings down the per-copy cost and ensures consistency in print quality and binding across all copies.
Standard foil text includes the full thesis title, your name, the degree (Ph.D.), your department and university name, and the year of submission. Printster allows you to specify exactly what text goes where, so you can match your institution's exact layout requirements.
There is no strict page limit, but very thick volumes (above 500–600 pages) may need to be split across two bound volumes to maintain binding integrity. If your thesis is unusually long, contact Printster support before ordering so they can advise on the best approach.
