Print On Demand vs Offset Printing Services

Determining Which Service is Best For You

100%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.
  • IngramSpark
  • BookBaby
  • Amazon KDP
  • Diggy POD
  • Barnes & Noble
  • Lulu
  • Draft2Digital
  • Acutrack
  • Blurb
  • Traffored
  • Matador​

​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.

In this article you have made a direct comparison between print-on-demand and offset printing services. I feel that selecting print-on-demand services is much better because in involves less cost and provides more flexibility also we get to keep the rights of the material published which is very important. Thank you.

It's interesting to know that printing on-demand services would be able to help authors to take advantage of global distribution. In that case, it is a good idea to look for services that would be useful to you and your budget to achieve your goals. In my opinion, it is a good idea to look for those with various packages and even financing options when you are really on a tight budget.
