The electronic documents may then be printed on-demand in quantities from one copy to thousands. Rather than printing many copies of a publication and warehousing them until needed, the electronic document is stored on disk and printed when requested. It is particularly appropriate for publications that are needed occasionally in small numbers. This reduces mailing costs and transit times. There can be a considerable hidden savings in labor as local personnel are freed from spending time at a laser printer or copy machine.
Every page is an original.
There is no quality loss as sometimes occurs with second or later generation copies. More copies may be printed later as required. Electronic documents are more easily stored than offset plates, and do not deteriorate over time. You may update your electronic document more easily than a paper-based document. By properly presorting and packaging the documents for mailing, actual postage costs may be reduced.
