Short answer: what does colour printing cost in India?
At BulkPrintouts.com, bulk colour printing starts at ₹1.50 per printed side on 80 GSM paper for front-and-back text files on a white background, with a minimum of 500 colour pages. On 100 GSM Premium there is no 500-page minimum: ₹8.00 per page for 1–10 pages, ₹6.00 for 11–50, ₹4.50 for 51–199, ₹3.00 for 200–499, and ₹2.50 per side from 500 pages front-back, which also includes free spiral binding (one per 500 pages) and free standard courier anywhere in India.
Everything is printed on industrial laser machines at 600 DPI with powder toner, so pages are waterproof and smudge-proof. To order, WhatsApp your PDF to +91 98201 69619 with your page count and pincode. Delivery is 1–3 working days in Mumbai and Thane, and 3–9 working days elsewhere in India.

Colour printing rates
Two papers. All rates are for A4 files with a white background. The rate depends on how much colour is actually on the page, which we confirm after opening your PDF.
| What is on the page | Printing | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Text onlyLowest rate | Front & back | ₹1.50 / side |
| All text with a little graphics | Front & back | ₹1.75 / side |
| Text and graphics mixed, up to 20% colour coverage | Front & back | ₹2.00 / side |
| Text only | Single side | ₹2.50 / sheet |
The 500-page minimum counts colour pages only. If your document is mostly black and white with a few colour pages, split it with our free colour page separator — the black-and-white pages then print at ₹0.50 a side and the small colour batch moves to 100 GSM Premium, which has no minimum.
| Quantity (colour pages) | Printing | Rate | Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 – 10 pages | Single side or front-back | ₹8.00 / page | — |
| 11 – 50 pages | Single side or front-back | ₹6.00 / page | — |
| 51 – 199 pages | Single side or front-back | ₹4.50 / page | — |
| 200 – 499 pages | Single side or front-back | ₹3.00 / side | — |
| 500 pages and aboveBest value | Front & back | ₹2.50 / side | Free spiral (1 per 500 pages) + free pan-India courier |
| Order | Printing | Extras |
|---|---|---|
| 500 pages · 80 GSM · front-back · text only | ₹750 | 250 sheets · spiral ₹50 · courier extra |
| 500 pages · 80 GSM · front-back · up to 20% coverage | ₹1,000 | 250 sheets · spiral ₹50 · courier extra |
| 500 pages · 100 GSM Premium · front-back | ₹1,250 | Spiral and pan-India courier free |
| 60 pages · 100 GSM Premium · single side | ₹270 | Spiral ₹40 · courier by weight |
A page means one printed side. 500 pages printed front and back uses 250 sheets of paper. Anything above 20% colour coverage, and any full-page or edge-to-edge background, runs on our HD machine and is quoted separately — send the file and we will confirm before printing.
What does “20% colour coverage” actually mean?
Coverage is the share of the page carrying colour toner. It is the single thing that decides which 80 GSM rate applies, so here is how to judge your own file before you send it.
Text only — ₹1.50
Body text, tables with plain rules, coloured headings and page numbers. Under about 5% coverage. Most notes, question banks and legal sets sit here.
A little graphics — ₹1.75
Text pages carrying a small logo, a colour-coded table, a thumbnail figure or a highlighted box. Roughly 5–12% coverage.
Up to 20% coverage — ₹2.00
Diagrams, charts and illustrations that take up to a fifth of the page — typical of anatomy plates, circuit drawings and slide handouts.
Above 20% — quoted separately
Photographic pages, half-page charts, dark or full-page backgrounds, and reverse matter (white text on a dark fill). Send the PDF and we will price it on the HD machine.
Not sure which band your file falls in? Send it on WhatsApp. We open every PDF before quoting, so you are told the exact rate before anything is printed.
Colour printing price calculator
Free, no signup, and your PDF never leaves your device — the page count is read inside your own browser. The calculator applies the rates on this page, adds spiral binding and courier, and exports the quote to PDF or Excel.
All rates are for files with a white background. A page means one printed side — front-back printing puts two pages on one sheet. Anything above 20% colour coverage, or with a full-page background, is quoted separately after we open the file. Courier is confirmed with you before payment.

80 GSM or 100 GSM Premium — which should you choose?
Pick by budget, by quantity, and by how much the pages will be handled.
| 80 GSM | 100 GSM Premium | |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum order | 500 colour pages | None — from a single page |
| Cheapest rate | ₹1.50 per side, front-back, text | ₹2.50 per side at 500+ front-back |
| Feel | Standard office weight, light to carry | Denser, closer to a printed book |
| Show-through on duplex | Slight on heavy diagrams | Effectively none |
| Free extras | None | Free courier + one free spiral per 500 pages, at 500+ front-back |
| Best for | Large runs of notes, question banks, coaching material | Medical and engineering material, thesis copies, client-facing reports |
Colour printing on 70 GSM has been discontinued. 80 GSM is now the lightest paper we run colour on, because thinner stock lets heavy colour show through on front-back printing.
Spiral binding rates
Spiral is priced by the thickness of the book, not by how many copies you order. Remember that front-back printing puts two pages on every sheet.
| Book size | Pages (front-back) | Spiral |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 sheets | Up to 100 | ₹30 |
| 51 – 200 sheets | 100 – 400 | ₹40 |
| 201 – 275 sheets | 400 – 550 | ₹50 |
| 100 GSM Premium, 500+ pages front-back | Any | 1 free per 500 pages |
One spiral holds a maximum of 275 sheets, which is 550 pages printed front and back. A thicker book is split into volumes and each volume is charged at the rate for its own size. We also offer centre pinning, perfect (glue) binding and hard case binding — see the binding options page.
Courier charges
Charged by weight and destination, and always confirmed with you before you pay.
| Destination | First kg | Each extra kg |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai & Thane | ₹50 | ₹50 |
| Anywhere else in India | ₹120 | ₹70 |
| 100 GSM Premium, 500+ pages front-backIncluded | Free | Free |
| Self pickup from Borivali West | ₹0 | ₹0 |
About 190 sheets of 80 GSM, or about 160 sheets of 100 GSM, weigh a kilogram. Pan-India shipments go by DTDC. For bulk orders inside Mumbai and Thane, same-day delivery is available through WeFast or Porter at the delivery partner's own charge — we add nothing on top.
How to order colour printouts online
Four steps, done from your phone in a few minutes.
Send your PDF
WhatsApp the file to 9820169619 with your page count, paper choice, binding and delivery pincode.
Get the rate confirmed
We open the file, check colour coverage, and confirm cost, paper, binding and a delivery estimate.
We print and bind
Printed on our laser book printing machines at 600 DPI with waterproof powder toner, then bound.
Photos, then dispatch
We share photos of the finished job, collect the balance, and courier it anywhere in India.
Payment terms
How payment works
A 50% advance starts the job. Once printing and binding are finished we share photographs of your material, and the balance is payable at that point. The order is dispatched after the balance is received. Payment is by UPI or online bank transfer, and an invoice is provided on request with the dispatch details.
What is confirmed before you pay
The exact rate for your file, the paper, the binding, the courier charge and the delivery estimate — all agreed in writing on WhatsApp before the advance. Nothing is added afterwards without telling you first.
Why cheap here does not mean cheap-looking
The saving comes from volume — 80,000+ pages a day through industrial machines — not from the machine, the toner or the paper.
600 DPI resolution
Fine diagram lines, footnote text and table rules stay crisp instead of turning fuzzy — which is what matters on anatomy plates and circuit drawings.
Colour that stays consistent
The five hundredth page matches the first, so a chart reprinted next month still matches the set you printed today.
Powder toner, fused with heat
Waterproof and smudge-proof, so pages survive a full exam season of handling, highlighting and being carried around.
No inkjet, ever
Inkjet fades, bleeds when damp and smears under a highlighter. Most very cheap colour printing elsewhere is inkjet. Ours never is.
Laser colour or inkjet — which is better for bulk?
| What matters | Laser (what we use) | Inkjet (home printer) |
|---|---|---|
| Sharpness | 600 DPI, clean lines | Good, can bleed on thin paper |
| Ink type | Powder toner, heat-fused | Liquid ink, fades over time |
| Water resistance | Waterproof | Smears when wet |
| Cost in bulk | ₹1.50 – ₹2.50 per side | ₹6 – ₹15 per side |
| Best for | Books, notes, question banks, bulk runs | A handful of photo prints |
Before you send the file
Four ways to cut your colour bill
Split colour from black and white
Most “colour documents” are 90% black text. Our free colour page separator pulls the colour pages into their own PDF so the rest prints at black-and-white rates. On a mixed book this commonly halves the bill.
Print front and back
Duplex halves your sheet count, which cuts paper weight, courier cost and the price of binding — and makes the book far easier to handle.
Keep the background white
The bulk rates apply to white-background files. A dark or full-page background pushes the job onto the HD machine and raises the price sharply. Export slide decks in a light theme.
Export images at 300 DPI
A blurry source prints blurry — no machine can rescue it. Export the PDF at 300 DPI or better and check the diagrams on screen at 100% before sending.

Colour printing questions, answered
What is the cheapest colour printing price in India?
₹1.50 per side, on 80 GSM paper, printing front and back, for text files on a white background, with a minimum of 500 colour pages. On 100 GSM Premium the equivalent bulk rate is ₹2.50 per side at 500+ pages front-back, and that one includes free spiral binding and free pan-India courier.
Is there a minimum order for colour printing?
On 80 GSM, yes — 500 colour pages. On 100 GSM Premium there is no minimum at all: a single page can be printed at ₹8.00. The 500-page count applies to colour pages only, so a mixed document does not need 500 colour pages to be worth sending.
Why are there three different rates on 80 GSM?
Because a page of plain text costs less to print than a page carrying diagrams. Printing front and back at 500 pages or more: ₹1.50 per side for text files, ₹1.75 for text with a little graphics, and ₹2.00 for text and graphics mixed up to 20% colour coverage. Single side is ₹2.50 per sheet for text only.
What does 20% colour coverage mean?
It is how much of the page is actually covered in colour toner. Headings, small diagrams and coloured tables normally stay well under 20%. Photographs, charts filling half the page, and any full-page background go above it, and those are quoted separately once we open the file.
Do you still print colour on 70 GSM paper?
No. Colour on 70 GSM has been discontinued. 80 GSM is now the lightest paper we print colour on, because heavier paper holds colour better and does not show through on front-back printing.
What is the difference between 80 GSM and 100 GSM Premium?
80 GSM is the cheaper paper and needs 500 colour pages, from ₹1.50 per side front-back. 100 GSM Premium is denser, takes any quantity from one page, and at 500 pages and above front-back it is ₹2.50 per side with free courier and one free spiral for every 500 pages.
Can I order just a few pages in colour?
Yes, on 100 GSM Premium: ₹8.00 per page for 1–10 pages, ₹6.00 for 11–50, ₹4.50 for 51–199, ₹3.00 for 200–499, and ₹2.50 per side from 500 pages front-back.
What are the courier charges?
₹50 per kg within Mumbai and Thane, and ₹120 for the first kg plus ₹70 for each additional kg anywhere else in India. On 100 GSM Premium orders of 500 pages or more printed front-back, standard courier is free across India. Self pickup from Borivali West is free. About 190 sheets of 80 GSM weigh a kilogram.
Is spiral binding included?
On 100 GSM Premium at 500+ pages front-back you get one free spiral for every 500 pages. Otherwise spiral is charged by book thickness: ₹30 up to 50 sheets, ₹40 for 51–200 sheets and ₹50 for 201–275 sheets. A book above 275 sheets is split into volumes.
Can I print photographs and full-colour backgrounds?
Images and graphics are fine within the coverage bands above. Dense photographic pages and full-page edge-to-edge backgrounds run on our HD machine and are quoted separately. Send the file on WhatsApp for a rate.
What file format do you accept?
PDF only, and printing must not be restricted in the file. Every PDF is opened and verified before the order is confirmed, and you are told about any problem before we print.
How long does colour printing take?
Printing is usually finished within 1–3 working days of the order being confirmed. Delivery is then 1–3 working days in Mumbai and Thane and 3–9 working days elsewhere in India. Urgent jobs are accepted at extra cost when capacity allows.
Do you print A3 and A5 in colour?
Yes, alongside standard A4. Mention the size when you send the PDF — A3 is priced separately from the A4 rates on this page.
How do I pay, and can I get an invoice?
A 50% advance starts the job. We share photos of the finished material, collect the balance, then dispatch. Payment is by UPI or online bank transfer, and an invoice is sent on request with the dispatch details.
Can I get a sample printed before a large order?
Yes, and for a big run it is worth doing. A short sample on 100 GSM Premium is charged at the small-quantity rate and lets you check colour, paper feel and diagram sharpness before committing.
Is the calculator free, and is my file uploaded anywhere?
It is free with no login, and nothing is uploaded. Your PDF is read inside your own browser purely to count the pages. The estimate can be exported to PDF or Excel, or sent to us on WhatsApp.
Is the calculated price the final price?
For a white-background file, yes. The one thing we confirm after opening your PDF is the colour coverage, since that decides which 80 GSM rate applies. Files above 20% coverage or with a full-page background are quoted separately.
Why are your rates lower than a local print shop?
We run high-volume industrial laser machines and batch jobs together, printing 80,000+ pages a day, so the cost per page falls with scale. That saving goes to students, schools and institutes ordering in bulk rather than into a shop counter margin.
Do you deliver outside Maharashtra?
Yes — we courier to every PIN code in India through DTDC, and have printed for customers in Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi and beyond.

A common question is what a colour printout costs per sheet. On 80 GSM front-back at the text rate a fully printed sheet works out to ₹3, because each sheet carries two printed sides. On 100 GSM Premium at 500 pages and above it is ₹5 a sheet, with courier and one spiral per 500 pages included.
