Is On Demand Printing Right for Your Project?
While on demand printing may sound good at first, it is not the right solution
for every project. Many times conventional printing may be more a better fit for a particular project. Here are some
questions you need to ask yourself:
Will your work interest a conventional publisher?
Do you have the capital to pay for conventional printing?
Do you think your title will sell more than 500 copies?
Are you prepared to be heavily involved in marketing of your work?
Do you have unusual size or printing requirements?
