Printing cost FAQs
How much does it cost to print a 100-page 6x9 paperback?
On our calculator, printing a 100-page 6x9 paperback costs $89.38 for a single copy and $5.48 per copy at 100 copies ($547.95 for the 100). Printing only: shipping and sales tax are extra.
Does this price include shipping?
No. These are printing prices only. The calculator adds shipping to your ZIP code for the delivery speed you choose, and the sales tax for your delivery state is its own line, passed through at cost.
Why does the price per copy fall as I order more?
Printing is priced per copy and falls as the quantity rises, as the table above shows. Order the quantity you will actually use: a larger run lowers the price per copy but raises the total.
