Digital printing has led to the evolution of self-publishing. This modern mode of printing has been allowing self-publishers to order only a few dozen copies for their small distribution channel through short-run printing. Short run book printing also permits them to order more copies later, making them able to replenish books that have been sold or are that are in demand.

Self-publishers in Boston, MA are increasing in numbers because of the benefits of digital printing, making short-run printing and print-on-demand both possible and profitable. Years ago, book publishing was a challenging, costly and labor-intensive process. Authors and publishers had to be involved in every aspect of book production, hiring and supervising editors, layout artists, and printer to produce a thousand copies of books. The scarcity of bookstore and library distribution also made it more difficult for individual authors and self-publishers. But that is no more the case.

Since digital printing began in the mid-1990's, it has made the production of publications more convenient. Self-publishers continue to take advantage of this new and improved digital technology that has eliminated the necessity of high-volume print runs. Books can now be produced in small quantities, providing a means for authors to self-publish with relative ease and at a minimal cost. And since digital printing involves turning your book into a digital file, can you print and bind smaller numbers of copies to replenish your inventory.
