Digital book printing: a sales enabler

Not just a cost saver but a sales enabler, digital printing enables your customers to first sell, then print. Printing on demand greatly reduces risk and cuts costs associated with stocking and pulping. Have your customers trial a book without having to guess its success, then ramp up production when demand increases. Digital printing facilitates this so-called ‘book of one’ approach, a more competitive and cost-effective way to produce low volumes of specialty items.
