Printing and binding your thesis is the final step before submission. With a few smart choices, you can reduce costs while ensuring a professional finish. Here are three easy ways to save money on your thesis printing + binding.
-
Colour Printing
One big way to save money on your thesis costs is to cut back on colour printing. Websites, hyperlinks, and email addresses often appear in blue—change these to black. Change any other unnecessary colours, such as page numbers and headers, to black. This simple adjustment can save you up to 40c per page! -
Formatting & Proofreading
Before sending your PDF for printing, check the file one last time. Ensure that page numbers are included, your table of contents is correct, your name is spelled correctly, and that no content has shifted unexpectedly. Take your time and do a final proofread to catch any last-minute errors. This will help you avoid costly reprints. -
University Specific Layout
Before filling out our online thesis order form, check with your university to see if they have specific binding requirements, such as a particular cover and spine layout or a designated cover colour. Also, make sure the name you provide matches your Student ID card. Universities may reject your bound thesis if it doesn’t meet their specifications, so confirming these details in advance can help you avoid re-binding costs.
By following these three simple tips, you can keep your thesis printing and binding costs under control while ensuring a professional final product.
