Thinking About Self Publishing?

Have you been quietly working away on a book for the past few months or years? Are you desperate to publish? Have you ever thought about small run printing?

Why short-run printing?

Perhaps you have a restricted budget or your book or leaflet has a limited target audience. Don’t be put off by thinking that there is a minimum print run and that the start up costs are huge. These days they are not.

Huge advances in digital printing technology mean that self publishing, especially when the intended print run is small, are now feasible.

The savings when using digital printing are primarily down to the fact that no printing plates are used. This is the main difference between digital printing and more traditional methods of printing (that included lithography and letter press).

Digital printing also allows you to quickly update content such as text and images, without incurring huge costs to produce new printing plates.

Short-run Printing and Printing on Demand

Printing on Demand is by its very nature short-run printing. On demand printing is usually used for personalised printing – such as children’s books that are customised with a child’s name – or where individual pages have pictures and text that have been chosen for the child. Usually christening or birthday books – or books designed to help a child if a parent is away for long periods of time.

So whatever the size and nature of your printing project, short-run printing cold be for you!
