How to Get Cheap Color Printouts (₹2 vs ₹10)
Updated: February 2025 • 3 min read
Color printing has always been expensive. Local shops charge ₹10, ₹15, or even ₹20 per page. For medical students or designers needing 500+ pages, this is unaffordable. Here is how online printing changes the game.
Why is Local Printing So Expensive?
Local Xerox shops have high overheads: commercial rent, electricity, and manual labor. They rely on small Inkjet or Laser printers which have a high "cost per page".
The Online Advantage: Production Printers
At OnlinePrintout, we use massive Production Digital Presses (like Xerox Versant or Konica Minolta Accurio).
- Speed: These machines print 100 pages per minute.
- Quality: 2400 DPI resolution (far better than home printers).
- Cost: Due to bulk volume, our cost drops drastically, and we pass those savings to you.

Who Needs Cheap Color Prints?
- Medical Students (NEET/MBBS): Anatomy diagrams need color. Printing Marrow/PrepLadder notes in B/W makes them useless.
- School Projects: Kids' assignments require vibrant images.
- Design Portfolios: Architecture and fashion students need high-fidelity prints.
