Digital book printing offers great solutions for publishers and authors alike. Through this printing technology, the book industry has found a way to make producing books more efficient and cost-effective. The demand for faster and better results makes digital book printing a feasible way to produce more titles while still maintaining quality. Using only top-quality, high-volume laser and inkjet printers, digital printing powerfully produces superior quality books.

By turning to digital printing, an author or publishing house can choose to print only the amount of books that are needed. This is beneficial to independent authors who want to self-publish their own book. Printing a limited number of copies is much more convenient and less expensive. By doing this, many self-publishing authors are able to avoid hefty payments on initial runs. It allows them to pay only for what is needed which assures them that their investments on the printed books do no go to waste. This makes digital printing a viable method for those who are just starting to test the waters. The book industry is a competitive market, and being able to gauge whether or not an author gets into the competition during the early stages of the book is crucial.

A beautifully printed book cover with crisp pages attracts book buyers. With that being said, the benefits of digital printing in Newton, MA extend to the aesthetic quality of a book as well as the commercial value. Titles that require short runs and long runs, like bestsellers, can benefit from the superb quality of digital printing. Hence, this contributes to the commercial value of the book and whether or not it will sell. With digital book printing, authors and publishers can optimize a book’s appearance, content, and value in a quick and cost-effective way.

Print on Demand Benefits Both Authors and Readers Alike - Newton, MA

Joseph Coupal - Friday, May 26, 2017

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.

The Beauty and Benefits of Self-Publishing - Newton, MA

Joseph Coupal - Friday, May 19, 2017

After writing a book, the next step is to publish the work. The two main options that authors can consider are traditional publishing and self-publishing. Simply put, traditional publishing allows publishing houses to have control of the book content and quality, while self-publishing gives the author full control over the book. These two options offer different advantages and disadvantages. This is why authors should weigh the pros and cons of both and decide which will work best for the success of the book, both critically and commercially.

If an author wants full control of their book, then self-publishing is the best choice. The book format, cover design, and aesthetic qualities are all decided by the author. Furthermore, self-publishing also allows the author to retain complete control on the editing, publishing, and marketing process. That being said, an author also retains all the rights to the book and the publication speed is faster when compared to traditional publishing. Self-published books can be sold within a few months while traditionally printed books can take years.

Independent authors can now enjoy the benefits of self-published books. Authors can consult experts in self-publishing in Newton, MA in order to choose the printing and color options that will best suit them. Using digital book printing authors can be confident that their book can be easily modified and that additional copies can be created quickly.
