Print on demand (sometimes referred to as publish on demand) refers to a cost effective method of only producing hard copies of published books once an order has been received. This is a long way from the traditional publishing methods of calculating the likely sales for a new publication, printing that number and subequent retailing via a distribution network.
The increased costs for publishing using print on demand services should be weighed against the potential risks of producing a large volume of books which nobody subsequently purchases or which are sold at a loss. Once mainly popular with self publishers, this method of book production is now employed by a variety of publishing houses – both traditional and online – since it ensures that turnover is protected, though profit margins may be less.
