    Fight of the century

    Difference between "Print to Demand" and "Print to Order"

    My opinion is if I put up a sign outside my shop that we "Print to Order" that means we will customize the print order to meet the customers specifications. "Print to Demand" or "Print on Demand" means that I will print as required to meet customers expectations of delivery. I don't think...
