Ask questions about printing paper materials and costs?

There are 65,438+0,2 color pages printed on light yellow paper to protect eyes. If the cover is ordinary cardboard, if the pure cost is only paper, ink and printing money, if one printing exceeds 1000 copies, the average cost per copy is less than one yuan, but if only one copy is printed, it will be much more expensive. There is a simple reason. For example, if you go for a meal alone, you may want 50 yuan, and two people may want 70 yuan. If there are 10 people, a little more 200 yuan will be enough. The more you print, the cheaper it will be.

At present, the price of a popular 300-page novel in the market is generally 16-25 yuan, but it cannot be said that the publishing house earned 15-24 yuan. Because the author of a novel goes to the publishing house and the publishing house has to edit it, such a novel needs at least 4 editors, and the cost is at least 2000 yuan per month. If a publishing house publishes a novel, it should also pay royalties to the author, which is probably more than 12% of the book sales price. You also need to apply to the Cultural Bureau for publishing review, and you also need money. The printing house must earn at least a few cents for every book it publishes. However, if a book wants to sell well, it needs advertisements. Advertisements are often issued when news is released, and major newspapers have to pay manuscript fees and contact fees. Now the cost of books is close to 7- 12 yuan (the same quality and high price are often due to the translated version). In this way, bookstores buy books at 8- 16 yuan each, but bookstores also need costs, labor costs, rent, utilities, management, and so on, so the cost of books usually becomes 12-20 yuan (the situation is different and the cost is different, which may be much lower than this, but the usual calculation should be like this). Then there are readers, who buy about 300 pages of ordinary printed novels. Usually, bookstores earn 4- 10 yuan per book (maybe a little less, I don't ask for publishing for a long time, and the competition is fierce now). This is the basic situation.
