Print on Demand is a cost-effective way for single book printing services. This is because the print on demand service is a book distribution approach which goes hand and hand with high speed and effective digital printing.

Print on demand providers like us here at The Country Press maintain databases of books on behalf of their publisher clients. Normally book publishers submit books to the print on demand suppliers in the form of two files for each book, one digital file for the book interior, and another file for the cover. Once the publisher signs off on the proof, the book is listed by the Print on demand throughout its distribution channels including booksellers, other offline and online retailers, chain stores, and even some exporters. As such the title is now listed for sale to all wholesalers and retail outlets. If an interested buyer finds the book in an online listing, an order is placed, and if no physical stock available at the retailer’s warehouse, an order is sent to the distribution chain to the print on demand system.

In addition, with print on demand it makes it unnecessary to invest enormously amount of money in printed books before a market for the book is established. Fortunately, it eliminates the huge economic risks involved in book publishing. The print on demand contributes highly in eliminating the need to keep books in inventory as it allows the book without substantial sales to stay in print. And for small publishers and self-publishers, print on demand book distribution has swiftly changed the publishing process.
