The computer/printer technique could be fairly affordable, especially for a small retail owner who wanted to have a nice computer and printer for their own use anyway.The significant advantage of this over ordering from a PoD company or RGPNow's PoD service is that the retailer takes zero inventory risk other than the cost of the machinery. Moreover, they wouldn't face the capital flow problems that stocking regular print products require; they don't pay for their e-stock until the customer hands over his credit card.</blockquote>
