Book publishers had no choice since it was the only way to print cost effectively. Often, this results in a large amount of waste since many of the printed books are left in the shelves unsold. Today however, advances in printing technology have let book publishers print and produce prints to as low as one book per request. This type of printing is also useful because digital printers retain digital copies of a text and that they remain available whenever they are needed. As far as efficiency goes, digital printing and on demand technology is a marriage that has made printing small amounts of books very easy. Also, most on demand printing presses will only charge a publishing house one fixed fee per copy - no matter what the size of the order actually is. Because of this, the overall cost that is associated with on demand printing is much lower than that of traditional printing. Here are some of the ways that on demand printing helped the book industry: Now you can print a book that has been out of print for awhile using digital printing technology. Since you can store these prints in digital files, you can produce only as many as you want and when you need it.

It also allows a complete book to be printed and bound in a matter of minutes. Since it is a direct printing method, this type of printing technology makes it easy and cost-effective to produce books in small amounts, rather than in bulk quantities of several hundred or several thousand. Because of this, a Publishing house will not be forced to keep a large amount of printed materials on hand. In using this type of printing method, they can simply ask for copies as they are needed. This makes life very easy for publishers.

It is also a surprising fact that paper and printing industry ranks fourth amongst manufacturers in the amount of energy consumed. Paper productions, electricity used for factory operation as well as the actual printing process demands a lot of fossil fuel. These make printers a major consumer of natural resources. If the amount of natural resource consumption is not checked the world will soon be devoid of all its resources. Moreover, like most production units, printing houses produce large amounts of harmful wastes. VOCs or Volatile Organic Compounds are produced everyday in large quantities by these printing houses. The main causes of production of these harmful volatile organic compounds are petroleum based inks, varnishe s, adhesives and laminates which are some essentials of printing houses. Bulk printing generally requires a lot of these resources and eventually causes the production of large quantities of VOCs. When released into the environment, these VOCs can effectively damage soil and groundwater. The VOC vapors cause air pollution when released into the environment. These in turn contributes much towards global warming and also cause a lot of health issues to human beings. One of the most common health issues it can cause is Asthma, other than several respiratory problems. In our childhood days, we have often come across comic book heroes like Superman, who had come from another planet, and with his super powers went to great extent to save our planet and make it safer and better for us to live in. Unfortunately today, when our world is facing the great natural threats, we do not have a super hero to come straight out of the comic book and help us save the world.
