Print-on-Demand

• Print-on-demand (POD) is a publishing method in which copies of a book are printed only when an order is received, rather than printing large quantities in advance. This model allows authors and publishers to reduce inventory costs and avoid overproduction.

POD is commonly used in self-publishing and for niche markets, as it allows for greater flexibility in book production and distribution. Services like Amazon’s KDP and IngramSpark offer POD options to authors and small publishers.
