108% Zoomed pdf file of iami1 blog book printed at decent size by Delhi online printer
Today I received a set of 5 iami1 blog books that I had ordered from the Delhi online printer printonweb.in. To overcome the problem of compressed size in his printouts of the blog book (see http://ravisiyer.blogspot.com/2018/06/good-quality-of-printing-and-binding-in.html), I sent a 108% zoomed pdf file of iami1 blog book (see http://ravisiyer.blogspot.com/2018/06/zoomingenlarging-text-content-of-pdf.html) to them.
Given below is first a pic of comparison of previous printed book from Delhi online printer without zoom and then the current printed book, with both of these books being compared against Paperback copy of iami1 blogbook which uses large fonts and is very easily readable.

Looking at the top, bottom, right and left margins of the right hand side book in both the pics tells us that the second pic has lesser margins and so bigger text area than the first pic.
Essentially, the 108% zoom pdf does get compressed at printout time by the Delhi online printer but as it is zoomed content to start with, the compression degree is lesser in the final output. So sending the Delhi online printer 108% zoomed A5 size PDF files seems to be a good way of negating their compression of A5 pages in their output.
The pic below shows a Puttaparthi local printer not zoomed (normal size) iami1 blogbook print copy (white spiral binding cord) kept next to and on the left of 108% zoom iami1 blogbook print copy from Delhi online printer (black spiral binding cord).
The left margin for the book on the left is less while the right margin is more. But the text content size seems similar.
Note that A5 size iami1 blog book is printed on laser printers on A4 size pages with each side of A4 size page having two A5 size pages printed on it. These A4 size pages are then cut to make them two A5 size or close to A5 size pages. I think the procedure used by the Puttaparthi local printer to print the A5 book on A4 pages is somewhat different from the Delhi online printer, with the latter using an additional degree of compression of the A5 size text content before printing.
To conclude, the Puttaparthi local printer is able to handle printing of normal size (no zoom) iami1 blogbook of A5 size but the Delhi online printer needs a 108% zoomed pdf file (A5 size) to ensure that text content size does not become compressed and so more difficult to read.
