Private book printing costsThe cost of printing was affected by many factors.
From the perspective of printing methods, digital printing was suitable for situations where the printing volume was small, while traditional printing was suitable for situations where the printing volume was large. If the number of printed copies ranged from dozens to one or two hundred, digital printing was more suitable. Otherwise, traditional printing was more cost-effective.
The printing fee was also related to the number of pages, color, binding, paper, and number of prints. The more pages there were, the higher the cost of composing and printing. Binding methods such as saddle nailing, sewing glue binding, wireless glue binding, etc. Different page numbers were suitable for different binding schemes. Paper was generally commonly used with double-glued paper, but the price varied with different thickness. In terms of printing quantity, there was a situation where the cost of a single volume would be lower as there were start-up fees, plate making fees, etc. For example, when the printing volume was small, the cost of a single volume would be higher, and when the printing volume was large, the cost of a single volume would be lower.
From the types of books, books with plain text, pictures, tables, or other graphics had different publishing costs. Plain text was relatively cheap, while other types were more expensive. The number of colors in the composition, such as single-color, two-color, four-color, the composition fee is also different.
In terms of cost composition, apart from printing fees, there were also book number management fees, review fees, proofreading fees, publishing fees, design fees, and so on. The book number management fee was usually a large expense other than printing, which could be between 30,000 to 50,000 or even higher. The review fee and proofreading fee were generally calculated according to the number of words per thousand words (the number of words was the number of words on the page). The publishing fee varied according to the color count and the type of book content.
For example, a 200-sided 16-sheet black book with 100 copies printed would cost about 3000 yuan if digital printing was used. The cost of a single copy was about 30 yuan. If traditional printing was used, it would cost nearly 6000 yuan. If it was a color book, the cost of digital printing was about 200 yuan, and the cost of traditional printing was about 130 yuan. If 10000 copies were printed, the single-color printing would cost 5 yuan per copy, and the four-color printing would cost 7 yuan per copy. Therefore, the cost of printing a book was between 5 - 30 yuan if it was in single color, and between 7 - 200 yuan if it was in color.
