Digital Printing
At Maple Press, we recognize the changing landscape of book manufacturing and the increasing demand for sustainable practices. Publishers are now focused on minimizing risk and optimizing inventory levels through shorter print runs. In response to this industry shift, we have expanded our digital printing services to meet the growing need for efficient and flexible book production, integrating sustainability into our operations.
Our enhanced capabilities encompass short-run book manufacturing, print-on-demand services, and book component production, all seamlessly integrated into our internal processes. With the latest equipment and cutting-edge technology, Maple Press is well-positioned to address the rising market demand for digital printing services while reducing environmental impact.
Digital Short Run
While our web, sheetfed, and inkjet presses excel in cost-effective solutions for orders ranging from 250 to tens of thousands, our digital printing solution, caters to runs as low as 25 copies. This enables customers to maintain optimal inventory levels throughout the life cycle of their titles, promoting sustainability in book production. Our streamlined system at www.mapleshortrun.com simplifies the digital printing and short-run manufacturing process, providing customers with the convenience of using existing book files for digital printing.
Digital Bridge Printing
Moreover, our digital printing capabilities offer a solution for customers looking to bring books to market quickly, even when manufacturing capacity is at a premium. Through our Digital ShortRun program, we can produce short print runs of up to approximately 1,000 copies, ensuring books remain in inventory while waiting for an offset reprint. This option is ideal for events, shows, or Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs), supporting sustainable and efficient book distribution.
Component Production
To enhance our comprehensive service offerings, we have developed internal digital component production capabilities. Using the Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1e inkjet digital color press, we can produce papercovers, jackets, preprints, and inserts for titles on either the ShortRun or offset platform, streamlining delivery times and reducing costs for our customers. Multiple lamination options are available to support our digital printing capabilities for components, ensuring high-quality production.
