Insights from Bindwel and Sajith Pallippuram about Inkjet Technology in Book Printing
The world of book printing is changing quickly, and inkjet technology is leading the way. Whether it’s personalized books, small print jobs, or speedy production, inkjet printing makes it all possible. Bindwel, led by Sajith Pallippuram, is helping publishers and printers keep up with these changes using smart, efficient machines. Here’s a closer look at how this technology is shaping the future of book printing and how Bindwel is making it even better.
Why Inkjet Printing is a Big Deal
In today’s world of online shopping and digital platforms, people want things faster and more customized. This is true for books too! Instead of printing thousands of copies in one go, publishers are now printing small batches of 50 to 1,000 copies (short runs) or even less than 50 copies (micro-runs).
In India especially, print-on-demand is booming, and experts predict it will grow at a rate of 27.8% every year until 2031. This makes inkjet technology a must-have for printers looking to meet these new demands.
How Inkjet Printing Helps Publishers
Here’s why inkjet printing is a popular choice for book printing:
- Saves Money: It doesn’t cost much to set up for small print jobs, making it perfect for short runs.
- Customizable: Publishers can easily create books tailored to specific readers.
- Flexible: Small printers and big publishers both love how inkjet printing works for everything from back catalogs to niche markets.
- Fast and High-Quality: Advances in technology have made it faster and cheaper, while still delivering top-notch quality.
As Mr. Sajith explains, “Inkjet printing cuts down setup costs and makes it an economical choice for low-volume jobs. It also allows publishers to create personalized books or print just a few copies without wasting money.”

Combining Old and New: The Hybrid Printing Model
Sometimes, printers need the best of both worlds: offset printing (used for high-volume jobs) and digital/inkjet printing (great for small, quick jobs). Bindwel calls this the hybrid printing model, and it’s a smart way to work:
- Testing: Use digital printing for small test runs.
- Save Money: Switch to offset printing for big print jobs.
- Minimize Waste: Digital printing ensures just the right number of books are printed, reducing leftover stock.
This balance makes it easier to meet customer demands while keeping costs down.
