Projects and theses

Dissertations, project reports, lab records and manuals, with the binding your submission requires, where the shop offers it.

A thesis is the one document where formatting genuinely matters. Margins have to hold, page numbers have to land in the right place, and figures have to stay legible after printing.

QuillPrint is built around that: send a print-ready PDF, confirm the pages in the preview, choose the colour and binding you need, and pick a shop that provides it. During submission weeks, setting the job up in advance is the difference between collecting it and queueing for it.

What you get

  • Send the whole document

    Upload your full report, thesis or record as a single PDF, up to 30 MB per document.

  • Confirm before it prints

    Preview the selected pages to check that the front matter, figures and page ranges are exactly right.

  • Colour only where it is needed

    Keep the body in black and white and mark the figure or cover pages as colour, which usually costs less than a full-colour print.

  • Binding where the shop offers it

    Spiral, soft and hard binding appear as options when the shop you select provides them.

  • Copies for every reader

    Set the copy count for your department, your guide and your own records in one order.

  • Print as a team

    Use a Group Order so a project team submits under the same print rules and collects together.

Get it right first time

  1. 1Export to PDF with fonts embedded, this is what keeps margins, page numbers and layout intact.
  2. 2Check your department’s margin requirement, particularly on the binding edge, before exporting.
  3. 3Make sure figures and scanned pages are legible at full size, not just on screen.
  4. 4Decide your copy count up front: department, guide, and your own copy.
  5. 5Start earlier during submission weeks, when shops are busiest.

About binding availability

Binding is provided by the individual shop, not by QuillPrint, so not every shop offers every binding type. Spiral, soft and hard binding appear only where the shop you select supports them. Binding and other finishing also add preparation time, including at Instana-enabled shops.

Availability differs by shop

Services, rates, binding and collection options are published by each shop. What you see when you compare is what that shop actually offers, which is why the total is calculated for the shop you select rather than quoted in advance.

Questions

Yes. Upload your full report, thesis or dissertation, choose colour or black and white and the binding your department requires. Binding options appear where the shop you select offers them.

Common options are spiral binding for records and drafts, soft binding, and hard binding for final submissions. Availability depends on the shop you choose, not every shop offers every type.

Upload a PDF with fonts embedded. This preserves your margins, page numbers, fonts and layout exactly, so the printed and bound report matches what your department asked for.

Upload ahead of time so the shop has your file before you arrive. During peak project and submission weeks, shops are busier and binding adds preparation time, so ordering earlier gives you more room.

No subscription. Review the selected shop's total before payment.
