Tamil newspaper maker & layout software
Tamil newspaper maker with a practical print-proof checklist
For a Tamil local paper, the difficult part is often fitting a headline without making the letters cramped. XLR8 Print supports Tamil newspaper pages. Bring approved stories and captions, make a representative page, and judge the text at its intended printed size before applying the layout to an entire edition.
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
Use a town report, a two-line headline and a photo caption as the first proof. A caption that looks fine while zoomed in may be too small when printed.
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 similar-looking letters in names
Ask a Tamil editor to verify names and words involving ர/ற, ல/ள/ழ and ந/ண/ன against the approved copy. Layout software cannot decide which spelling a person or place uses.
Read pulli and vowel signs at print size
Inspect body text and small captions for missing or crowded marks. If the page feels dense, reconsider column width and line spacing before making all the text smaller.
Proof numerals and bilingual adverts
Review amounts, dates and phone numbers separately from the story. Where an advert mixes Tamil and English, compare the exported PDF with the advertiser’s approved artwork and copy.

How do I make a Tamil newspaper?

Export the PDF, proof the entire page and ask your printer to check one representative page before producing the edition.

How much does Tamil newspaper software cost?
XLR8 Print supports Tamil newspaper output. The ₹22,999 Publisher licence covers one newspaper with up to three editions and 50 launch pages. 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. Test your own copy, fonts and printer requirements before choosing a plan.
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.
