M.K. Williams | What printer or #selfpublishing platform is best for full color books & doing fulfillment yourself? @1MKWilliams | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This was a great question about the best printer for a 300-page full-color book and the author plans to do self-fulfillment. A lot of different variables.
1. Full-color printing is expensive. But if you plan to market on the quality of the book don't be afraid to charge what it is worth and at the very least cover your print cost.
2. If you want to 100% self-fulfill so you can add personal touches, you can find a print house near you and have the books done in an offset run. You might even be able to pick them up so you can avoid the freight shipping to your home depending on the location.
Self-fulfillment is A LOT to take on.
3. One solution if you want to sell direct from your website is LuLu. They have an integration with Shopify so if someone buys the book from your online store, LuLu will print and fulfill for you.
Hope this helps!
