Digital BW, The Print

That sounds ideal, but does he sit on them and not charge his client
until they order more? The whole point of the print on demand is to keep
the upfront cost down. I would love to print "all at one time" but my
customers can't anticipate how many and how fast they will sell them so
the "one at a time" gives them that opportunity not to loose their
shirt.
