Rochester Institute of Technology's Cary Graphic Arts Press has signed a deal with Lulu.com to print the Institute's publication on an on-demand basis rather than as a standard press run. The plan eliminates the risk inherent with academic publishing: returns of unpurchased stock. Each copy is printed as it is ordered and "We can make a profit off of one book." According to Lulu.com's Stephen Fraser, who sent the link, this may be the first North American institution to adapt the on-demand printing model, though as he notes, other institutions have explored the idea.
