Black-and-white printing is mainly used for fiction, while colour printing is more often used for technical literature, educational materials or \u201ccoffee table books\u201d. In Sweden, black-and-white printing accounts for about 60 percent of all hardbacks, nearly 100 percent of all paperbacks and approximately 50 percent of other softbacks.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to the coloured segment, most black-and-white books are initially printed in small runs when the publishers want to limit tied-up capital. It is therefore a competitive advantage to be geographically well positioned, like ScandBook, with short delivery times to most of the Nordic customer base.<\/p>\n<p>In general, black-and-white production takes place closer to the publishers and the consumers compared with coloured production, which has longer lead times and larger editions. Since the editions are larger, freight costs account for a smaller portion of the total production cost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-308","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
