The printed set
Print it, coil it, carry it
Paper survives a six-month revision the way a screen never does. The whole Sprint exists as a print edition: 24 spiral-ready volumes across the four papers, 7,930 pages, with bleed, crop marks and a punch-safe gutter already built in.
You do not have to print all 24 at once. Each volume stands on its own. Start with the paper you are revising.
The easy way: order it printed
Notes Next Door (NND), Delhi is the official printing and distribution partner for Weave Sprint. If you would rather skip the print-shop errands, order your set from them. In our experience, they have been the most reliable printing partner we have worked with.
The do-it-yourself way
Every volume is a press-ready PDF. Download a paper's set, hand the shop the files, and give them this brief:
- Print at 100 percent. No fit-to-page, no booklet mode.
- Duplex, both sides, long edge. Full colour throughout.
- The page is 216 x 303 mm: A4 plus 3 mm bleed. Trim to A4 along the printed crop marks. If the shop will not trim, print-fit to A4 instead; it still reads perfectly.
- Spiral coil binding. The coil size is listed on each volume below.
- 80 gsm uncoated paper for the pages, 300 gsm card for the covers. The first and last pages of every volume are already designed as its covers.
