	Locus Online: Sean Wallace on POD Publishing
		The reasons for POD's failure to achieve its revolution are varied, but much of the blame (and stigma) is a consequence of the first ecological niche that was available for it to occupy: vanity publishing.
		This is an undeniable drawback of POD technology, as the unit costs stay fixed for each copy manufactured and offers no room for improvement; whereas with traditional offset printing the costs scale with increases in the print run.
		There are other reasons POD publishing is still struggling for legitimacy, among them entrenched practices of industry analysts and bibliographers who have difficulties with books that aren't "published" in the usual sense of having fixed print runs (a problem shared in a sense with electronic publishing, which doesn't involve physical copies at all).

	Print-on-Demand by Grzegorz Boguta
		This demand is created by the end users of publishers’ products, that is libraries and other public institutions, as well as the authors of books and their consumers.
		However, the established value chain of author-publisher-printer-distributor-wholesaler-bookseller-consumer is far too slow to satisfy either authors’ demands to make and keep their work available, or the demand of consumers to receive the most up-to-date content whenever they wish to purchase it, and at affordable prices.

	Print on Demand
		Print on demand is a new printing technology which delivers, literally, print on demand.
		Print on demand has the potential to revolutionise the way publishing works, although it has not yet been adopted on the kind of scale that would enable publishers to realise its potential.
		It is particularly cost-effective for publishers to use POD for their backlist because the setting and cover already exist, and therefore the set-up cost involved is only the comparatively minor one of digitising the book.

		Print-on-Demand is a fairly recent technology that uses digital printing techniques to produce standard print books in a rapid and cost-effective process.
		Generally publishers refer to two types of production models when they discuss "POD": both true print-on-demand, which is the production of one copy at a time through a variety of manufacturing schemes; and short-run-digital production (SRD), which produces very small quantities of a title, mostly for course adoption and small book-trade orders.
		The program includes both in- and out-of-copyright works but is restricted to titles that are not in print with a publisher (except for reprint or POD houses).

	Article: Print-on-Demand
		POD (which stands for print on demand)/subsidy publishing is the denigrated vanity publishing of yesteryear dressed up in the Emperor’s New Clothes.
		Likewise, at the other end of your book’s life cycle, digital print is an easy way to keep just a few copies available to customers, without the capital investment and inventory requirements of offset printing thousands of books.
		You won’t be able to give that book to a wholesaler (who demands 55% discount) or a distributor (who takes 68-72% discount) because that would mean selling them the book at between $2.80 and $4.50 per book—which you can’t afford, because your cost is $6 per book.

	Setting Locus Straight on Print On Demand
		Yes, when print on demand technology began, there were obvious differences in the quality of the physical books produced.
		In truth, of course, these companies were -- and remain -- vanity publishers who use a form of printing technology referred to as "print on demand publishing." This is not "print on demand" -- but it is the major reason for the stigma to which Locus refers.
		Printing technology and fulfillment systems that allow publishing business models similar to other businesses with "just in time" manufacturing and delivery should be commended rather than condemned.
