Print on Demand allows the ability to print material such as: a brochure, pamphlet, manual or a book in very small quantities, even just one at a time. Generally, the printing is done from the computer rather than the traditional offset printing process. POD is environmentally sound because hundreds of thousands of unsold, new books are destroyed annually. In addition, publishers no longer need to maintain a large physical inventory of titles, which translates into huge cost and spacial savings.

POD has reshape the way the printing industry does business - giving the publishing community options to reduce cost and manage inventory, while keeping more books in print. In many cases, the printed material can be ordered, produced and delivered within hours.
