What is Print on demand?
Printing on demand (POD) using digital technology is a way of printing items for a fixed price per copy, regardless of the size of the order.
The unit price per each item printed is higher than with offset printing, but the average cost for very small runs is actually lower because of smaller set up costs than you would pay for offset printing.
Print on demand normally refers to printing approx 1-25 copies.
What are the benefits of POD?
- Technical set-up is usually quicker than for offset printing
- Reduced inventory management - inventories of a book or print material do not need to be kept in stock, reducing storage, handling costs, and inventory accounting costs
- There is little or no waste from unsold products in the supply chain
- The ability to bring out-of-print lines back into production
- Reduced risk!
These advantages reduce the risks associated with publishing books and prints and can lead to increased choice for consumers.
