Print on Demand in Sweden: Four Projects and Their Products, Problems and Prospects
نویسنده
چکیده
When starting my investigation of Swedish printing on demand last year in March, I could find one (1) Swedish project marketing and selling print on demand produced books on the Internet. Today there are four similar projects and one more is taking shape as I speak. Even though these four projects in motion have not got more than a year to produce and make progress, I think it is possible to discover some trends. In this paper I intend to present some background material about Swedish print on demand, some facts about the four projects and their production and finally some of my thoughts about the future of print on demand in Sweden.
