Common questions about per-page pricing, discounts and delivery charges.
01How much does it cost to print a document in the UK?
Printing is priced per page, with black & white the cheapest option and colour costing more per page. Discounts apply automatically as your page count rises, and delivery is free on qualifying orders. Upload your document to see the exact cost before paying.
02How much does it cost to print 100 pages?
It depends on colour and sides, but volume discounts apply automatically, so 100 pages costs less per page than 10. Upload your file and the exact total appears instantly — including any discount you qualify for.
03Is there a minimum order?
No. You can print a single page or several hundred, with no setup fees and no minimum spend.
04How do volume discounts work?
The per-page rate falls automatically as your page count rises. There is no code to enter and nothing to claim — the price shown at upload already includes any discount.
05How much is delivery?
Delivery is charged separately and shown at checkout before you pay, with free delivery on qualifying orders. Next-day delivery is available across the UK.
06Is double-sided printing cheaper?
Pricing is per page rather than per sheet, since printing and handling each page is most of the cost — so the total is the same either way. What double-sided does give you is real: half the paper for the same document, which is the more economical and less wasteful choice.
07Is online printing cheaper than a print shop?
For most document printing, yes — especially at volume. High street shops carry premises and staff costs in their per-page rates and rarely offer automatic volume discounts, and there is no travel time or cost when documents are posted to you.
What affects the cost of printing a document
Document printing in the UK is priced per page, and the total depends on four things: how many pages you print, whether they are colour or black & white, whether you print single or double-sided, and delivery. There are no setup fees and no minimum order, so a one-page job is just as practical as a five-hundred-page one.
Black & white vs colour costs
Black & white is substantially cheaper per page and is the right choice for text-led documents — reports, essays, contracts, tenancy agreements, official forms and revision notes. Colour costs more per page because it uses four toners rather than one, and is worth paying for when the colour carries meaning: charts, presentations, photographs, marketing material or anything branded.
Because options are set per file, a single order can mix both. A colour presentation and a black & white appendix cost their own rates within the same order, so you never pay colour prices for pages of plain text.
How volume discounts work
The per-page rate falls automatically as your page count rises — there is nothing to claim and no code to enter. A long dissertation or a bulk business order therefore costs noticeably less per page than a short document. The price you see when you upload already includes any discount you qualify for.
Half the paper, half the waste
Pricing is per page, because printing and handling each page is most of the cost — the paper itself is a small part of it. Choosing double-sided keeps the price the same but genuinely halves the paper used: a 200-page report printed double-sided uses 100 physical sheets rather than 200, which makes it slimmer, lighter to post and easier to handle for exactly the same content.
Delivery costs
Delivery is charged separately and shown at checkout before you pay, with free delivery on qualifying orders. Next-day delivery is available across the UK. Because we post directly to you, there is no travel cost and no time spent going to a print shop — a factor worth counting when comparing prices with the high street.
Is online printing cheaper than a print shop?
For most document printing, yes — particularly at volume. High street print shops and copy bureaus carry the cost of premises and staff time, which is reflected in their per-page rates, and they rarely offer automatic volume discounts. Home printing can look cheap per page until you include toner or ink, paper, and the cost of a printer that jams at the wrong moment. Online printing sits between the two: professional equipment and volume pricing, delivered to your door.
