Concept of Printing On Demand
The concept of printing on demand is that you only print when it is ordered. While this concept is certainly the epitome of POD, it is not usually practical for the small, independent publisher. POD equipment is extremely expensive. At the very least a publisher may expect to invest upward of $50,000 for a basic POD system (that will involve considerable hand labor). A Xerox Docutech costs from $250,000 and up depending on options. Océ and IBM have fully automated POD systems--the file goes in one end and books "fall out" the other with (at most) minimal human contact along the way. These POD systems cost upwards of $1 million. Clearly most of these systems are outside the budget of a small, independent publisher.Fortunately, a publisher does not need to own POD equipment to get most of the benefit from publishing on demand. The publisher can use the services many regular printers, who have added POD services, some 'copy' shops that have established reasonable pricing for book production, or of one of the many operators of digital presses to handle the production. Since most digital printing companies are not (yet) fully attuned to the needs of small, independent publishers, you may need to work with your selected vendor and mutually educate each other.

Digital art was once said a temporary novelty and cannot establish itself as a legitimate genre in the art world. But now it has established its position in the art world and changing the course of what art is all about. Digital printing contributes to the improvement and propagation of different artwork by making it available even to the ordinary individuals.Thus acquiring priceless paintings is made easy by digital printing technology through printing on demand.
