We Herald the Changes in the Publishing Industry

The publishing industry is changing. It is no more printing a huge number of books and waiting for it to sell or print a limited number of books and lose the revenue of additional requirement. 

Publishing has been facing a lot of challenges. They have been printing books in large numbers in the hope of selling. It has been found in studies that around 30% of all printed books are pulped. This is a huge loss for the publishing industry. There was a need for printing small quantities when the need comes so that there are no returns. Publishers are also able to execute the small orders that come later with these small quantity printing.

Markono saw the opportunity and streamlined our operations. We do printing using different printers and ensure that the quantity needed is only printed. We use a combination of offset and digital printers to do the long run, medium run, and short run printing. The content remains in digital form with us and we can print the required quantity for the publisher at any time. 

We do the ultra-short run with digital printers for the marketing copies. Then we do the offset printing for the launch and main edition. After this, we use either the offset or the digital printing for the end-of-life copies depending on the quantities required. We can use the offset for the new edition. There was a market where small quantities were required by some orders which could not be executed earlier. We do this by using our digital printing ultra-short run. This means that the publishers don’t lose any revenue. Thus, Markono offers the best print fulfillment services that anyone can offer. We have made Singapore the Asian hub for publishers from the Western world. 

As we use the best quality printers and color management tools, the books are printed in the most attractive manner. Our modern systems enable the customer online tracking of the orders. We offer the customers many different binding options that help them to customize the books in any way they want. With our excellent supply chain management and distribution options, publishers are happy getting the job done by us. We are the most modern and sophisticated printer Singapore has.

We Have Revolutionized Printing & Distribution

As more and more importance is given for the protection of the environment there is an urgent need to reduce our wastes. We should only produce what is necessary and preserve our valuable resources. This should be done at every possible place. This should be practiced especially in cases where natural resources are directly used to produce a product. Paper is a product that is directly dependent on natural resources. Wastage of paper has to be prevented at any cost. This is why many companies are going paperless today. You will also see that at every point most of the software asks whether you really need to print that page. Everyone is putting their bit to save the natural resources that we still have.

Printing is an essential part of life. Books need to be printed and distributed. Books continue to the main source of reading material, even when electronic methods are being popularized. There is a heavy demand for printed material in the world and printing is being done extensively. When you want to read something, there is nothing like the feel and smell of a printed book. However, we need to reduce the amount of paper that we use as much as possible. It is estimated that almost 30% of the printed matter that is produced is pulped. The maximum we can reduce, the better.
