In an example of digital media converting to a printed format, a new global digital publishing platform called Issuu has responded to the need for printed material and allows digital content to be printed on demand through a globally accessible network of printers and Print facilities. It has enlisted the help of Peecho, which is a free service designed to update websites with a button allowing readers to order printed material, in order to do present this opportunity.
While the service is currently available to select printers, the network is expected to expand in the near future so that Print companies in the Mississauga and Toronto areas, as well as the rest of Canada, can become involved in the global network, as the number of printers is constantly increasing.
The platform aims to provide what it calls ‘professional printing for the masses,’ by offering printed material from formats not specifically designed for Print. Issuu says that it has over 52 million monthly visitors, and 210,000 publications added each month, which is proof that there is high demand for printed versions of digital publications.
Many people prefer to have a tangible copy of a magazine, leaflet, or book to something that appears on a computer screen and this is encouraging news for any company who offers printing services.
With so much potential exposure, printers in the Mississauga area should consider joining the platform in the future. Stationary printer manufacturers HP and Xerox are expected to join in the expanding network as well.
