Other Digital
Supply Chain Links
There are, of course other digital book printers ready to enhance the publishing supply chain, including Deharts (www.Deharts.com) and Fidlar-Doubleday (www.FidlarDoubleday.com). There are also traditional printers ranging from short-run pioneer Edwards Brothers (www.EdwardsBrothers.com) to mega-printer RR Donnelley (www.RRDonnelly.com) that integrate digital services. It is also possible for a publisher to operate its own digital facility, as is true of Infinity Press (www.InfinityPublishing.com), an author-publisher partnership enterprise.
