I’m not used to speak about new technologies in printing, it’s not my field and I’m not an expert. But today I read something which astonished me.
Watch this:
This machine can give you the choice between 400000 titles (they will bcome one million….) and it can print your book in five minutes. It can be used as a new print-on-demand machine or, and this is the most interesting point, it can be a new way to have rarities and old titles always ready. Can you imagine going to a bookshop and ask to print you an old title that is out of catalogue? How this will affect the life of the publishing houses? Which consequences shall we expect?
It’s also important that the inventor is the publisher Jason Epstein, who is following his own research about the cheap and “futurable” book. For the moment this machine can be found in USA, Australia, Canada and in the Library of Alessandria. Somebody told that this is the best invention since Gutenberg.
I will follow this matter carefully…
