We offer a cost-effective, timely dissertation printing service, with a choice of bindings. We use a standard A4 90gsm silk stock for printing dissertations. Detailed content that requires a larger, A3 format (such as diagrams) can be accommodated by concertina folding an A3 sheet to fit within A4 size.
