Do you have novel ideas?
Short-run digital book printing tells a great
story for your business. It represents a
major opportunity
for you to build your
business and grow your revenues. And it’s an
important way you can set yourself apart
from your competition.
With our 650/1300 Continuous Feed Printer,
you can achieve the high-quality look and feel
publishers, authors and readers demand—
quickly and cost effectively:
• Our wide print web allows three-up 6" x 9"
imposition to maximize your media,
saving you money while boosting speed
and productivity.
• Expanded media options, longer signature
lengths, flat sheet output, crisp text
and excellent images all contribute to
professional output that matches an offset-
printed book page for page—for less.
As a complement to offset, digital printing fills
a valuable and lucrative niche with publishers,
printers and authors by making it possible
to produce more titles in shorter runs. There
are many instances where digital is a cost-
effective, sensible choice for books, including:
• Limited-run self-published titles
• Reprints
• Specialty editions
• Late editions
• Out-of-print books
And digital is a savvy option for publishers at
the beginning or end of a book’s life, when
volumes are lowest.
Get bookish: why digital
printing is such a wise choice.

For
publishers
, it’s about the book—
the content, the author, the buzz—and
getting
more titles
in the marketplace at
a price that allows for profit. For
printers
,
it’s about
volume, volume, volume
—
pumping more units out the door faster
to generate revenues. And for
authors
, it’s
about
seeing their work in print
, even if
it’s only in a print run of one. In contrast
to traditional offset, digital book printing
offers many benefits to all of these
industry players and to you:
• Cost-effective short runs mean self-
publishing is viable, more titles can be
published and no book need ever be
out of print
• No need to print, store or destroy extra
copies—waste is reduced
• Fast turnaround
• Excellent imaging
• Opportunity to add variable
information and personalize books
• Integrate offset color pages with
monochrome and digital color pages
for more sophisticated books
• Outstanding in-line finishing
• Free your offset equipment to do other,
longer, more profitable jobs
