"Recent advances in digital document-processing
technologies are enabling companies to move from the traditional model
of print-and-distribute—based on offset presses and shipping
documents—to the model of distribute-and-print—based on communicating
electronic documents around the world for availability in digital
document production sites." —Xerox Corp.
Digital print-on-demand methods are changing:
• document creation from manual cut-and- paste to online
electronic assembly.
• physical storage of obsolete documents to electronic
libraries of always up-to-date information.
• printing large quantities on offset presses to
printing only the quantity needed on digital presses and document
production systems.
Print-on-demand's promised benefits are:
• no more obsolete documents
• no more warehousing
• no need for overruns
• less production expense
• less time-to-market
