Today, companies wanted their selling books to be printed, bounded, and shipped one at a time, although most are efficient and cost-effective. Many wholesalers, distributors, and publishers are now doing on-demand book production on their own.

On-demand basically means to a format by which a book or article is made on a distinct copy basis. The customer can gain access to it either through personal delivery or via Internet downloading to a customer’s computer. It can also be accessed through an in-store kiosk where the printed book is delivered to the customer. The idea of on demand printing is that books are printed only when ordered. This is usually impractical for the small, independent publishers. And, equipments are quite expensive. Independent publishers engaging on demand printing are secured most of the advantages by only printing a small quantity at any time. This method will lessen investment and inventory carrying cost and may consequence in lower overall costs even if the nominal unit cost of the book is higher.

However, there are also risks to confront. A publisher never knows how many books will sell for a given title. Publishers can avoid this by getting the right program and good timing. By this, they can sell hundreds of thousands of copies. Unlike with small publishers, they never have to face this kind of risk. If their published books are doing well, they can reprint and retail thousand of copies in the market.
