When authors wish to get published at a minimum price possible, they always inquire about the cheapest way to print a book in Canada and the answer is often dependent on a comparison between print on demand and offset printing. While the former allows the publisher to print copies when they receive an order, hence eliminating the problem of large print runs and storage, the latter can reduce the price per copy but is appropriate only in case of large print orders, thus benefiting the authors who intend to sell in bulk or during special events. Most of the time, before opting for any one of them, the writers prefer to make use of a book printing calculator available for free on the Internet that calculates the price depending on factors such as number of pages, trim size, paper used, and number of copies.
