Print on demand is a digital printing technology in which a book or publication is printed only when needed. This technique is preferred by those clients who want their order to be completed in an immediate basis. The books are printed individually when order is placed instead of bulk orders. The publisher keeps a digital copy of the printing material. Once an order is placed, the printing press owners start the printing process for the number of copies ordered.
Many traditional small printing presses are moving to this type of printing services in Melbourne because this technique is helping publishers to cut their loss.
Advantages of using Print on Demand are:
• No need to keep up stock: Investing huge amount of money in printing and then stocking of books can be avoided, when you are not sure about the sales of the book.
• Availability: This modern technique of printing makes the hard copy of a book available, when required. Making the hard copy does not take time due to presence of digital versions. The digital version can be sent to anywhere in the world in few seconds.
