Hi,

We print sheet music in low volume, usually 5 copies of each work. There is typically a 8.5x11 10 page booklet (26# paper 11x17 paper folded in half) and a card stock glossy cover (all B&W). The booklet is stapled on the edge to keep the pages in. We can use page imposition software to deliver the booklet contents as a PDF and another PDF for the cover. Inside this booklet we need to include "loose" instrument parts. This are the same size booklets without covers, usually 1-5 pages each, these parts typically aren't stapled - even if multi-page. There are usually 5 of these parts included inside each booklet. Everything I've described is available in PDF format.

My questions are:

1) Are there printers out there who we can email this info to in order to print them "on demand". Or is it just too complicated without custom explanation each time?
2) Are there printers out there who have a web services API whereas we can send them the info via an automated system? I quickly checked out Fedex/Kinkos but I think this is too involved for the tools they've provided.

Thanks,

Ed
