Printing a 200-Page Document: Sheets, Copies and Binding

Synthetic preparation worksheet v1 — 25 October 2026. Not a physical sample, app screenshot, certification or fulfilled order.

200 and 201 pages: round inside each copy

For 200 body pages, single-sided uses 200 sheets per copy and duplex uses 100. For 201 body pages, single-sided uses 201 sheets and duplex uses ceil(201/2) = 101. The last reverse is unused unless the file deliberately includes other content there.

Three separate 201-page duplex copies use 101 × 3 = 303 body sheets, not ceil(603/2) = 302. Covers, separators and a section-start blank can change the physical count. Count them explicitly instead of applying a blanket paper allowance.

A three-copy receiving manifest

Example: manual-v5.pdf, 201 pages, 3 complete copies, duplex, A4, approved colour and finish. Acceptance means three complete manuals, each beginning and ending with the expected pages—not one 603-page continuous stack.

Ask whether the chosen binding can accommodate the actual paper and cover combination. If not, propose volume 1 and volume 2 with explicit page ranges, individual covers and cross-references. Do not divide solely at an arbitrary page limit. Use the dated pricing guide and current quotation rather than multiplying a remembered per-page rate.
