Ingram Content Group Inc., a US-based provider of physical and digital services to the book industry, has announced the launch of its Life PrintSM program, a comprehensive solution for publishers to manage the complete life cycle of print books.
Ingram's Life Print program gives publishers the flexibility to manage all frontlist, backlist and long tail titles from one source, using one file and one order process. Publishers can manufacture books in any quantity, from a single copy to a high-volume print run, regardless of where a book is in its life cycle.
The program integrates print on demand with Ingram's high-volume, offset book printing affiliates to provide a seamless solution with a simple pricing structure. Publishers have the option to select expedited or standard service levels to quickly adjust to changes in demand.
The choices available through Ingram's Life Print program broaden the scope of Ingram's print service options for publishers. The Life Print program is available for most books and trim sizes and includes both black-and-white and colour book types.
