When the idea of printing on demand (POD) broke out into the publishing world, some confusion started. Was it there to herald a new era in book production or in book distribution? Back in the day, books were printed through an elaborate production process that makes economic sense today only if at least a thousand books per batch are being printed. Worse, it takes weeks and takes quite the production path. However, now, the production process involved in POD is streamlined to print books with faster turnaround and les expense, encouraging and allowing independent authors to join the self-publishing bandwagon.​​

Before digital book printing, it was not feasible to print on demand. Printing a small copy of books whenever they are needed was not possible, or incurred a huge expense. Through traditional book printing volume production equaled low prices. However, book printing using digital printers upset those ideas. Digital book printing means on-demand and short run book printing. Books can be printed much faster, as often as they are needed, and in small quantities—for less.
