Order To Print
Printer that will print individual copies of books.
A printing company that will print any number of copies of a book on demand (not necessarily immediately).
Including out of print books.
They should also give the option of printing and binding copies of scanned antique books and rare, where possible.
Prices could be reduced for batches of printing, if bulk printing the same book means decreases in costs on the company.

[Cabria],有這樣的公司!例如[契約出版](https://www.packtpub.com/)。考慮到這烤了什麼呢?
[Cabria], there are such companies! Pact Publishing for example. What is missing to consider this baked?
“ Packt的使命是通過向IT專業人員提供有效的學習和信息服務,幫助世界使軟件以新的方式工作。”-完全不同的使命。他們提供的教育工具根本無法解決問題。我不知道如何將兩者混淆?
訂購印刷更多地是關於絕版書籍。我說的是現有書籍或以前印刷的書籍,不限於任何特定領域(打包目標IT領域)。
訂購印刷書還可以使作者避免爲出版數千本書而付出鉅額資金的風險,而不必知道人們是否真的願意以所提供的價格購買。
因此,例如:我經營'Order to Print'Ltd。您,一位作家,用您的新小說接近了我,而Ruta用她的新食譜接近了我。該書設計合理,幾乎可以印刷,可以很容易地作爲電子書出售。我有一個可供讀者閱讀的電子書在線目錄。 200個人購買了您的小說的電子書,但20個人希望獲得該書的印刷版。另外20個人希望在同一個月獲得Ruta食譜的印刷版。因此,我將每個打印20張,並在月底發送給請求者。
這樣,我不會打印大量的硬拷貝,而這些硬拷貝最終會導致令人沮喪的折扣或刪除條形碼的回收箱。而且,如果對Ruta菜譜的印刷本有很高的要求,我可以按照人們的要求打印和出售越來越多的菜譜。
它減少了套印的浪費,並允許對整個過程進行更多控制。它還承認人們對電子書/硬拷貝的偏好的多樣性。
Packt完全不同,不執行任何操作,並且與本討論完全無關。抱歉。
" Packt’s mission is to help the world put software to work in new ways, through the delivery of effective learning and information services to IT professionals. " - Totally different mission. They're providing an education tool Does not address the problem at all. I don't know how the two would be confused?
Order to Print is more about out of print books. I'm talking about existing books or books that used to be in print and not limited to any particular sector (Packt target IT sector). Order to Print would also allow an author to avoid the risk of paying a huge amount of money for thousands of copies of their book to be published without knowing if people will actually want to buy it and at the offered price.
So, for example: I run 'Order to Print' Ltd. You, an author, approach me with your new novel and Ruta approaches me with her new cookbook. The book is designed and pretty much ready to print, can easily be sold as an e-book. I have an online catalogue of ebooks that readers can peruse. 200 people purchase the ebook of your novel but 20 people want a hard copy of it. 20 other people want a hard copy of Ruta's cookbook the same month. So I print 20 of each and send them to the requesters at the end of the month.
That way, I don't print shitloads of hard copies that will then end up on disheartening discounts or recycling bins with their barcodes removed. And if the hard copy of Ruta's cookbook is in high demand, I can print more and more of it as people request it and sell them.
It reduces the waste of overprinting and allows more control over the whole process. It also acknowledges the diversity of people's preferences for ebooks/hard copies.
Packt is totally different, does none of this, and is completely irrelevant to this discussion. Sorry.
[Cabria],對不起。我考慮過出版。我記得_Google圖書_曾經提供過獲取已絕版,印刷和交付的書籍的選項。我猜他們正在使用[Espresso Book Machine](http://ondemandbooks.com/)([video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXSaq9hLqNc))。也許還有其他選擇,但是要成立這樣的公司,我想您必須租賃或購買這樣的機器。
[Cabria], sorry. I thought about publishing. I remember Google Books had previously offered the option to get books, which are out of print, printed, and delivered. I guess, they were using the Espresso Book Machine (video). Maybe there is an alternative to it, but to start such a company, I'd assume you'd have to lease or buy such a machine.
特濃咖啡-Perfecto!太好了,[Mindey],感謝您的分享。大。已經完成了。 :-P打勾。
Espresso books - Perfecto! That's super, [Mindey], thanks for sharing that. Great. It's already done. :-P Tick.
[Mindey]-一旦已經達成共識,便能夠將諸如Idea之類的東西存檔。你怎麼看?刪除似乎有點困難...
[Mindey] - would be good to be able to archive things like this Idea, once there's a consensus that they've already been implemented. What do you think? Deleting seems a bit harsh...
[Cabria],讓我們留下一個標籤,例如[marked-for-deeletion](冗餘)。稍後,我們可以在以後的某個時間清理房子時將其刪除。隨着時間的流逝,我們應該進行某種形式的房屋清潔。
[Cabria], just let's leave a tag, like [marked-for-deletion] (redundant). Later, we can delete at some time in the future, when we have house cleanup. We should have some kind of house cleanup over time.
