The document discusses the opportunities for book printers in digital book printing. It notes that while print volumes are declining overall, the number of titles being published is increasing. This has led to high inventory costs as up to 50% of printed books go unsold. Digital printing offers book printers the ability to print on demand, reducing inventory risks. It also allows for local and on-site printing, faster production times to market, and customization. The document provides an example of a printer that has benefited from Ricoh's digital solutions through automated workflows and same-day turnarounds.

4. The inventory problem
“Managing inventory and dealing with the problem of unsold books
is extremely risky and expensive for publishers. It is estimated that
up to 50% of all books printed remain unsold and have to be pulped,
creating huge inefficiencies and added cost in the supply chain,
which cannot easily be quantified when a book is published.”
