Lightning Source Announces the Arrival of New Color Presses

If you have books that require interior color, you might be interested to know that Lightning Source now offers a more affordable color printing service LSI calls "Standard" color printing. It also offers "Premium" color printing which of course implies it is more expensive.

For those of you who are interested in this new development, you need to check out the post on Aaron Shepard's blog describe this development in more technical detail than I could ever provide you.

I have given up on printing any additional books using LSI due to the technical skills required and the problems of keeping your book listed as "in stock" on Amazon. Using CreateSpace is just too easy for me in all regards and the difference in discount lost by not being able to use the "short discount" model has stopped even being an issue for me.

I hope CreateSpace will follow suit and obtain similar color presses so it can compete with LSI in the market for books using interior color.

Aaron Shepard Announces Change to CreateSpace For His Color Books!

Aaron Shepard, one of the leading figures in the world of self-publishing and a strong advocate for using Lightning Source Inc. (LSI), announced on his self-publishing blog he will be changing POD services for several of his books with color interior books. Mr. Shepard will continue to use LSI for his all black and white interior books.

The decision to make the change came about due to CreateSpace's ability to handle interior color printing on a more consistent basis and with greater ease than using the LSI system. The information concerning the technical differences between color printing is explained in a bog post by Mr. Shepard.
