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.
