Print on demand services have provided a solution for authors at universities with lesser resources for publishing textbooks. Rather than stock piling book copies to be stored in warehouses in order to keep the cost per textbook down, now print on demand allows for fewer printed copies in smaller quantities while still keeping the cost per book down. This will translate to greater savings for many authors and universities.

This method is especially appropriate for professors, universities, and authors that specialized in academic materials and text books. Academic writers have a smaller targeted market than traditional authors. A finite group of students require these books as reference for research and as in-class materials. University presses that are publishing these scholastic works commonly have tight budgets and finances. Print on demand answers the requirement for less expensive, lower quantity, high quality text books by allowing universities and colleges to print on the number of copies needed.
