The foundation of on-demand printing lies in the support of digital technologies and equipment, as well as the cultivation and demand from the market. As digital printing technologies and equipment continue to evolve and better meet the requirements of on-demand printing, the demand for such services is steadily being met, leading to the gradual formation of a dedicated on-demand printing market.

On one hand, on-demand printing encompasses short-run printing capabilities enabled by digital systems. In the competition with small offset presses, copiers, and office printing devices, on-demand printing was among the first to gain traction in the short-run color printing segment. Furthermore, significant progress has been made in areas such as on-demand book printing (enabling zero inventory) and on-demand publishing (producing complete books directly from digital originals).

On the other hand, on-demand printing not only captures market share from traditional printing but also creates entirely new market segments. Personalized printing (e.g., custom invitations, greeting cards, photo albums) and on-demand newspaper printing (allowing instant access to native-language newspapers worldwide) have expanded the scope and potential of on-demand printing.

Although the growth of on-demand printing still depends on further technological advancements and improvements in printing equipment and materials-as well as factors such as print quality, equipment investment, material costs, operator skill levels, and market expansion-this innovative printing concept is reshaping the traditional printing landscape and holds great promise for the future. Continued development in digital printing equipment will further realize the vision of on-demand printing.
