Print on demand is a method of producing books to meet ongoing bookstore or book buyer orders. It is a process for publishing books as they are needed. Rather than printing large quantities of books using traditional offset printing methods, books can be printed in any quantity using advanced digital technology.

Print on demand in Newton, MA has many benefits and advantages. First, it is practical. Printing books in large quantities is very costly. An author won't mind the cost of printing and publishing if all the books sell. With traditional printing, authors must print large quantities, and they are often faced with copious amounts of unsold books and wasted money. With print on demand, these difficult and costly situations can be avoided. Secondly, POD provides financial assurance to authors. Typically, print on demand costs more per unit. But, print on demand greatly reduces the upfront cost that an author must spend when printing and publishing in bulk because fewer initial copies must be printed. In effect, authors do not have to store unsold books.

In addition, digital printing is also beneficial to authors themselves as well as to the environment. Because publishers do not have to dispose unsold books from a large print run, paper waste is significantly reduced. When there is a need for fast turnaround time, or a certain number of copies, print on demand services make it possible for both authors and avid readers alike.
