The cost of printing a document or book with a total number of 100 pages largely depends on the location from where the job is undertaken, the paper quality and binding type used in printing and also whether the printing will be done in color or in black and white. The local printers usually charge on a per-page basis, which becomes very low when it comes to bulk rather than individual print jobs. Online print-on-demand printers offer very competitive rates owing to their high volume of production, but delivery charges need to be considered in addition to this. The type of paper used in the printing process, its weight, and the finish of the paper also affect the cost involved. To have a preliminary estimate of the printing cost without contacting many vendors, using the book printing calculator is the most convenient method.
