Kannada newspaper maker & layout software
Kannada newspaper maker for local reporting and print editions
Kannada newspaper production needs a readable hierarchy between the lead, district reports and small notices. XLR8 Print supports Kannada pages. Build the first page with realistic copy, then check ottakshara, vowel signs and line fit in the actual print-size PDF.
The connected news website, e-paper publishing, and billing services are included while edition pages are produced through XLR8 Print. The ₹22,999 Publisher licence covers one newspaper with up to three editions and 50 pages; the ₹79,999 Agency licence covers multiple publishers and 250 pages shared across them. Both include setup, onboarding, and support. Continued production is usage-based.

Start with a page from your own newsroom
Choose a district report, a headline with a place name and a notice containing a date. These test body copy, display type and small text in one manageable proof.
Prepare the approved story, headline, byline, caption, image credit and edition date together. In XLR8, assemble the page, review the generated layout and make corrections before exporting. Newspaper generation assists production; an editor still approves facts, spelling and what belongs in the edition.
Three checks before you approve the page
Check ottakshara at the smallest size
Inspect joined consonants and marks below the line in captions and notices. If they crowd the next line, adjust the line spacing or font choice before applying that style across all pages.
Keep local names intact
Compare village, taluk and personal names with the reporter’s approved text. Rework a headline that does not fit instead of inserting arbitrary spaces into a name or dropping an essential qualifier.
Check reuse across district editions
A familiar template can hide yesterday’s date or a different district label. Review the masthead, captions, advert dates and continuation references as a set before final approval.

How do I make a Kannada newspaper?
To make a Kannada newspaper in XLR8 Print, prepare approved stories, headlines, photographs and adverts. Assemble them in a reusable layout, edit the page and check Kannada text at its intended print size. Export the PDF, proof the entire page and ask your printer to check one representative page before producing the edition.

The ₹79,999 Agency licence covers multiple publishers and 250 shared launch pages. Both include setup, onboarding and support. Additional production costs ₹25 per page.

Read the PDF, not just the editor
Check names, numerals, photographs, adverts and page size again in the exported PDF. Send one representative page to your printer before producing a complete edition. Use the printer’s requested export settings; increasing a DPI number will not restore detail missing from a source image.
