Print On Demand Perfect Bound Books In One Simple Step

Print On Demand

Print on Demand has become very popular lately. It is a phrase used by many types of companies to describe some of their services. They go from traditional printers using traditional printing equipment (offset, lithography, etc.), to printing equipment manufactures.

But what exactly is Print on Demand? (Or Print-On-Demand)? And how does it relate to books?

Very easy: it means that you print what you need, when you need it, and exactly in the amounts that you need it. Not one more and not one less.

In the case of books, (Book-On-Demand) it means that you don't need to print 1000 books -for example- when you need maybe only 100 books.

It used to be that you could not get just 100 books made. The process of making a book using traditional equipment makes the costs too high: using traditional techniques and equipment requires 23 different steps.

And what about only ONE BOOK.

Impossible.

This is where Print On Demand became InstaBook ®.

And InstaBook ® has been at the forefront of this technology since early in the 1990's.

When we applied for out first patent, in 1995, other companies where starting to discover the advantages of Book On Demand. To solve those Print On Demand needs, InstaBook ® Maker was invented from the ground up to offer you only the best and most advanced technology that allows you to print and bind and entire book in a single step, anytime, anywhere.

InstaBook ® Corporation is the premier supplier of the technology required to design, print and bind a book on demand anywhere on earth. Our world-wide patented technology covers not only the hardware, but also the software required to download books from a central distribution point and send it to even the smallest point of sale, thereby solving in one step the three most vexing problems in publishing: production, storage and distribution.

1. Production.

Our InstaBook ® Maker III equipment series solves the dilemma of mass-production versus price. With the InstaBook ® Maker you don't need to print thousands of books to get the benefits of high-volume pricing. Each book you produce with out systems will have a per unit cost similar to the costs per unit of a 10,000 run. Meaning you would need to print 10,000 copies of a book -using traditional technology- to get the same price per unit.

2. Storage.

Instantly, this solves the problem of storage. By producing the books you need when you need them and exactly in the amounts needed, allows you to get rid of your storage facilities. You don't need to store thousands of books anymore! This also means that you don't have any inventory to worry about.

3. Distribution.

Take it a step further. Instead of shipping your book through conventional means, (and having to pay the expense of postage, insurance, plus the time it takes to get there!), place your book in our growing network. Your customers in Australia, for example, will be able to purchase and receive your books in minutes, instead of weeks or months.
