Print on Demand Vs. Bulk Printing: The author's ultimate guide to deciding between the two when preparing their next release.
In publishing a book there are numerous decisions the author must make, ranging from editing, cover design, marketing, and distribution; of these a most critical, life-saving decision is how the author will print their book. There are currently two kinds of printing available: Print on Demand, or bulk printing.
Choosing the right printing method goes beyond simply cost of production, and will determine not only the speed with which the reader receives the book, but how much inventory the publisher needs to keep track of, and how successful and productive their publishing business will be. By learning the advantages of each, author's can decide what will work best for their publishing project:
Print on Demand
Print on Demand is a process where a book is only printed when a specific order has been received and fulfilled. Rather than shipping a plethora of books to a publisher and warehouse, each book is printed on an individual basis and then sent to the customer, many of the barriers authors may have historically encountered within the printing industry have been effectively dissolved due to print on demand as there is no requirement to warehouse stock or pay high initial print costs. This print on demand aspect allows authors to focus on writing, marketing and engaging their readers while the publishing company handles printing and fulfilment of their published works.
Advantages of Print on Demand
* Flexibility of Print on demand is one of the main advantages. Authors will never be burdened with carrying inventory that they are not sure they will sell.
* Customers will never have an issue if a book will sell out. There are no storage costs or issues and year-round availability.
* Authors have the luxury to make necessary edits to a printed work at any point, any revision to a current book of authors will be included in future print jobs automatically. Thus illustrated books and books with constantly changing content gain value in print on demand.
Bulk Printing
Bulk Printing is like print on demand but instead producing them in singles orders, hundreds or thousands of books are produced at once, this obviously involves a much higher initial cost, however reduces the cost per print quite drastically which is optimal for authors who are certain there book will gain great popularity, as profit can then be amplified and customers can easily access the book. This type of printing is also essential for bookshops, colleges, universities, wholesalers, exhibition and conventions and events corporate organizations, for example.
Premium quality for a premium product.
Authors have extensive quality of freedom withinBulk printing, where authors are able to choose hardcover prints or print with glossy dust covers, foil, embossed covers and high quality binding to provide both superior quality printing as well as increased longevity for their publishing works. Book cover quality can make a huge difference for children's books, illustrated novels, coffee-table style books or academic novels, for example, adding a premium shine to a quality title.
In Summary:
Both Print on Demand and Bulk Printing have specific usages within the printing market and the ability to find success and profit, but Print on Demand caters to writers trying to save money on the initial purchase of their book by providing the reader with their product on a day-to-day basis and worldwide online delivery as well. Bulk printing is a print strategy for authors who predict high sales and large volumes, or have planned to distribute their publication through distribution channels like physical book shops and universities, amongst many other possibilities.
