Determining Which Service is Best For You100%PRINT ON DEMAND AND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES Print on demand (POD) is an ideal solution for indie authors who are looking to print at an affordable price. There's no minimum order requirement; therefore, books can be printed as orders come in. Print on demand services also give authors more control over their work and allow them to upload additions or changes as often as needed--in many cases for free. Another advantage of print on demand is that authors can take advantage of global distribution, which helps to get their books in the hands of readers all over the world. The following is a list of the top POD companies for books.
OFFSET PRINTING One of the biggest advantages of offset printing is the quality. Magazines, books and booklets that require a polished look, especially for pictures rich in color, are often printed using an offset printer. Unlike POD, offset printers require a minimum print job; however, most of them offer volume discounts. Author's who are looking for their book to print in a specific size and want to use special materials such as cloth, foil and embossing, will generally seek out an offset printer. However, offset printers don't offer global distribution. Compare features of the offset printers listed below to determine which better suits your needs.
