Publication printing has changed a great deal with the advancement of digital print technology.
Traditional publication printing uses the offset printing method of long runs stored in inventory. Initial setup costs are high and production time can take months. If you need large volumes and your publication revises infrequently, offset might be the best choice.
Digital print-on-demand has taken a strong position for self-publishers, technical documentation that revises frequently, and businesses wanting to support aftermarket publication needs. With the digital print method, the per unit price is a bit higher, but production time is shortened from months to days. Plus, overall costs are reduced because there is no inventory and no waste which is better for the environment.
Offset and digital print technology each have their place. With Elanders Americas as your print provider, you don’t have to settle for one or the other printing method. We can produce your titles using the right print technology to fit your current distribution needs.
The best part for authors and self-publishers is you pay for the printing and shipping and that’s it. You keep all the proceeds from the sale of your book.
