The Rise of Print-on-Demand (POD) for Indian Authors
Print-on-demand eliminates traditional inventory risks. You no longer need ₹1,000,000 upfront to print 2,000 copies. You can print 25 or 100 copies as needed.
Key Steps to Prepare Your File:
- Set up inner margins (gutter space) based on page count.
- Export file as PDF/X-1a with 3mm bleed margin.
- Ensure all images are at least 300 DPI resolution.
