Print-on-demand (POD) is a digital printing process where copies of the book are printed as orders are received, eliminating the need for a large upfront print run. Offset printing, on the other hand, involves a traditional mass-printing method where the book is printed in bulk, requiring larger orders and upfront costs.

The main benefit of print-on-demand is that it minimizes upfront costs and storage fees, as books are only printed when an order is placed. It also allows for quicker turnaround times, lower print runs, and the ability to print copies as needed without overstocking. This is a more cost-effective option for self-publishers.

If authors need bulk copies of their book, we typically recommend offset printing, as it is more cost-effective for large quantities. Print-on-demand is ideal for smaller runs or when an author wants to avoid upfront printing costs and storage. We can help guide you to the right option based on your needs.

Shodh Prakashan Publishing can assist with distribution through major wholesalers who supply physical bookstores, but specific placement is not guaranteed.
