Cheap color copies suit meeting packets, training documents, sales sheets, menus, and short reprints. The default is 8.5″ x 11″ letter paper, 24lb Bond, Full Color Front / No Back (4/0), Regular white-borders, and Standard (1-3 Business Days). At that specification, 100 single-sided pages print for $14.85 and 199 print for $29.56. Those dollar amounts are totals for all the pages, not the price of each copy.

What does a color copy look like?

Office copier tray filled with letter color copies on 24 lb bond with white borders
Letter copies on bond paper suit office documents and meeting handouts. White borders are the default.

Digital copies print your document on individual sheets. Choose single-sided output for notices or handouts displayed separately. Choose double-sided output for packets that need less bulk. The sides selection changes the price: 50 letter sheets with Full Color Front and Back print for $14.85 on the default bond stock, versus $7.43 with color on the front only.

Fifty single-sided letter copies print for $7.43 before shipping. Organize the PDF in its final reading order.

Available paper choices include 24 lb recycled, 24 lb bond, 32 lb bond, 100 lb gloss text, and 80 lb or 100 lb gloss cover. Bond suits text, notes, and documents stored in folders. Gloss text gives photographs a coated surface. Cover stock gives a leave-behind more stiffness. Fifty single-sided letter copies on 80 lb gloss cover currently print for $12.10, with $9.95 ground shipping to 33140.

Which size and quantity should you choose?

Letter fits most office PDFs. Legal fits longer forms, tabloid suits ledger pages or small paper posters, and half letter makes a compact handout. Custom size uses the trim you enter. Match the PDF page size to the selection instead of relying on automatic scaling; check that charts, page numbers, and signatures remain readable.

Live examples checked October 4, 2026: full color, Standard production, ground shipping to ZIP 33140, before tax. Options not shown remain at their defaults.
Configuration Print total Ground shipping Combined total

Reset size to Letter, paper to 24lb Bond, print options to Full Color, printed sides to Full Color Front / No Back, sets to 50, and pages to 1 to recover the default $7.43 printing example. Use Regular white-borders and Standard production. Shipping changes with your ZIP and selected carrier service; the final form total takes precedence over these dated examples.

When should you use another product?

Use this page for office documents with Standard production. For an urgent production schedule, compare express color copies. If a menu must tolerate water or repeated handling, compare premium color copies and its synthetic papers. For a promotional handout on flyer stocks, use cheap flyers or Digital Fast flyers. Read each form’s current quantity limits and options.

How do production and shipping affect the deadline?

Standard production is 1-3 business days after the file is ready and payment is complete. Rush and Express options add fees when available. Shipping transit begins after production; an air service does not shorten printing time. Ground shipping for the default 50 letter pages to 33140 is $9.95. Check the estimated arrival in the form before choosing a deadline.

Copies have a temporary minimum of 50 total prints. Default output has white borders. Full-bleed trim is a separate option and may be unavailable for a particular size or paper. Tabloid is flexible paper, not a rigid sign. This product's listed quantity range ends at 5,000.

How should you upload and proof the file?

Upload a print-ready PDF with pages in their final order. Use sharp images at the intended printed size and keep essential text inside the guideline’s safe area. Regular white-borders leave a margin around your artwork. If you select full-bleed trim, extend the background through the bleed and follow the matching guideline.

The default proof choice is No Proof, Print As-Is. For review before production, choose the free Human Manual Digital Proofing option and allow time to approve the proof. Check page order, crop, spelling, and size. Design Studio’s Order this art attaches your canvas to the form; you can also upload a PDF or select Upload Later and provide the file after checkout.

Color copy questions

What is the minimum order for color copies?

During high demand, the minimum is 50 total prints, measured as sets multiplied by pages. The form opens with 50 sets and one page. For a ten-page packet, five sets meet the same minimum. If the calculation is below 50, increase sets or pages before adding the job to your cart.

Is $29.56 the price of one color copy?

No. $29.56 is the print total for 199 single-sided letter color pages on 24 lb bond, checked October 4, 2026. The base rate is about 14.9 cents per page. Shipping and tax are separate, and paper upgrades, double-sided output, or production options can change the total.

Why can tabloid and letter have the same print total?

The live default bond lookup currently prices 50 single-sided letter or tabloid pages at $7.43 printing. Shipping differs with size and weight: to ZIP 33140, ground is $9.95 for letter and $17.89 for tabloid. Compare the combined total, then check your own destination in the form.

Do I get full bleed by default?

No. Regular white-borders is the default, giving the artwork a clean margin. Full-bleed trim is a separate paid option and may be unavailable for some combinations. If the design must reach the edge, select an available bleed option and use the correct guideline. Review the resulting quote before ordering.

Is a proof automatically included before printing?

The form defaults to No Proof, Print As-Is, so select Human Manual Digital Proofing if you want the free proof reviewed before production. Allow time for the review and your approval. A proof helps you check sizing, crop, and page order; carefully check the original document’s spelling and details as well.

Should I choose bond paper or cover stock?

Choose 24 lb bond for worksheets, meeting packets, and text-heavy documents kept in folders. Cover stock suits sturdier sales sheets and frequently handled handouts. At the current default letter specification, 50 single-sided pages print for $7.43 on bond or $12.10 on 80 lb gloss cover. Compare the updated form total.

Choose sets and pages totaling at least 50, upload the final PDF, select your proof preference, and review printing plus shipping in the form before adding the order.
