Print on Demand or Bulk Printing? A Flash of Glance at the Printing Decisions Which Won't Fail to Boost Your Self-publishing.

Getting a book published is a major accomplishment, but the task of taking a manuscript and bringing it to market involves some major decisions. Principal among those is selecting a printing method. Modern authors are presented with a choice of two best available publishing options, namely Print on Demand (POD) and Bulk Printing. Although both produce a quality finished product they serve different publishing needs.

It really depends on how you make the print decision. From production costs and inventory concerns to distribution priorities and profitability, knowing the advantages of both models enables you to buy into the best fit for your publication.

Why Printing Is a Business Decision

A common mistake many first-time authors make is to concentrate solely on writing and editing. Production is ignored. However, the printing method you select can have a direct impact on your likelihood of publishing success.

A carefully selected printing strategy can help you:

Reduce financial risk.

Global media access.

Enhance delivery performance.

Less inventory issues.

Increase margin.

Help the future expansion of the company.

Printing in the planning stages helps an author establish a much more sustainable publishing business.

Print on Demand: Publishing Without Large Investments

Print on Demand became one of the fastest developing publishing systems because the book is only printed when a customer takes an order.

Instead of printing 1,000 copies in advance, authors upload their manuscript and design to a publisher's website. Each book that is sold is then printed, packed and shipped on demand.

Eliminates the requirement of storing in warehouse and makes available all over the world through online trader.

POD is an option for new authors and small independent presses looking for a low-cost publishing tool without large up-front costs.

Advantages of Print on Demand

Financial flexibility is one of POD's biggest credit strengths.

Since selling books is the only way to generate revenue, authors do not buy inventory except when they get paid.

Storage expenses are non-existent due to no unsold book stockpile within the warehouse.

Another benefit is that content is easily manageable. When there is a need for an update, authors upload new documents and all subsequent versions include the most recent updates.

International printers also cut back on the time to get books in readers' hands by printing nearer to a country's readers.

Bulk Printing: Built for Established Demand

For publishers that require books in larger quantities, Bulk Printing is still the most favoured method.

An important advantage of the large print run is its efficiency from the manufacturing standpoint: the cost of production of a copy of a book with a certain demand is lower in the case of the large print run.

Authors who provide bookstores, universities, conferences, wholesalers or companies with supply, often find stock of immediately available distribution very advantageous.

Additional investment in Bulk Printing has probably a higher risk, but the reward is often better.

Premium Production That Enhances Your Brand

Exceptional production quality can be achieved using Bulk Printing.

Compared to other printing methods, the text produced in offset printing is sharper. Also, the colours are more vivid, the bind is more durable, and the consistency throughout copies is higher.

Publishers are able to personalise their titles with hardcover options, foil blocking, embossed covers, sewn binding, high quality paper and finishes.

Final Thoughts:

The decision between Print on Demand and Bulk Printing is actually not so much about the printing process that is defined but how you intend to use the published material.

Print on Demand offers the flexibility, the low cost and the reach all over the world with minimal financial risk.

Bulk Printing provides reduced unit costs, superior presentation and increased profitability for volume runs.

Most of these successful authors use both models, keeping Print on Demand books circulating online, and in addition keeping "bulk printing" stock at home for book launches, speaking engagements, and selling through retail stores.
