Walkthrough by Monika Singhaniya

Publishing platform

Build the paper. Build its reach. Build a stronger publishing business.

A publication does not stop at the printing press. XLR8 Print brings newspaper production, a connected news website and e-paper publishing, and billing together. The website, e-paper, and billing services are included while editions are produced through XLR8 Print.

The edition

Shape approved stories, photographs, and advertisements into editable pages, then review the edition before it goes to press.

The audience

Give the publication a credible digital home through our news website service, and stay present beyond the morning paper.

The business

Keep billing organised with a system built for the commercial work behind a newspaper, backed by the same team that supports your publication.

Automated DTP

Automated DTP for multilingual newspaper production

XLR8 Print connects reusable templates, article frames, page editing, operator backup and print-ready PDF export. Review the text and layout in your newspaper’s language before approval.

Explore automated DTP

Template-led DTP

Start each edition from reusable newspaper layouts instead of blank pages or copied old files.

Article auto-fill workflow

Move stories, headlines, images, and captions into prepared page frames with less manual placement.

Hindi text fitting

Keep Devanagari typography clean while reducing resize, refit, and deadline pressure.

Operator backup

Give owners and teams a repeatable workflow when one DTP operator cannot carry the whole edition.

See the output

Check the print result before you decide

Use real output evidence, not just product claims: sample PDF export, printed-page photos, and a short workflow recording.

The problem

The daily pressure inside a local newsroom

Local and district publishers need predictable page production in their own language without losing editorial control.

01

Operator Dependency

One trained operator often carries the whole edition. XLR8 Print reduces that dependency with reusable templates, guided workflows, and AI assistance.

02

Expensive Software

Adobe InDesign ₹2 lakh+/year, 4C Plus expensive license. Out of budget for small newspapers!

03

Deadline + Quality Pressure

Pages must look consistent, text must fit cleanly in your publication’s script, and PDF export must match your printer’s requirements.

The solution

Newspaper production in your publication’s language

XLR8 Print connects templates, approved stories, page editing and PDF export for newspaper output in 12 languages. Proof your own copy and script before approving an edition.

01

Built around local newsroom deadlines

Designed for district editions, late-night deadlines and small publishing teams across India.

02

RNI-ready page setup

Structured fields, imprint details, edition data, and print-ready export support common Indian newspaper workflows.

03

European-grade print engineering, adapted for India

Review language-specific headlines, body text, images and advertisements in an exported proof before sending pages to print.
