Tokyopop Contracts with RPI Print

Tokyopop, an American distributor, licensor and publisher of anime, manga, manhwa and Western manga-style works, uses RPI Print Publisher Services to manage their backlist titles to an efficient print-on-demand, zero inventory, just-in-time manufacturing model. As bookstore inventory drops, order requests flow through RPI’s order management system automatically triggering a print and distribute event at a destination close to the distributor with efficient 2 week turnaround times.

Independent
Services Offered

Global On-Demand Distribution & Print

RPI’s global Printernet network uses a print-on-demand model that streamlines global distribution. We deliver your titles all over, from North and South America to Australia, UK, EU, as well as the Middle East and India.

Back Issue Management

Once your back list titles are uploaded, they are pre-flighted and await on-demand order processing. Printed titles can be bulk shipped into distribution (PRH, Simon & Schuster, IPG, etc.) or shipped directly to any address.

Zero Inventory Print-On-Demand

We print only what you need when you need it to improve cash flow and cut costs. Your backlist or select front list titles can be uploaded to our platform, so that they are always available to print globally on demand and at targeted quantities.

New Market Short Runs

Our print-on-demand services make it easy to improve your time to market, test new markets, zero out inventory, personalize, try new covers, leverage back list titles to increase business, and other flexible ways to refine your publishing business.

Print Technology Support

We offer the widest selection of print technologies to get the job done, from long run offset to book-of-one and every possible combination in between. New inkjet print platforms offer trade books-on-demand at highly competitive prices, while high-quality Electroink technology provides top-notch digitally printed photography and coffee table books.

Dedicated Self-Service Platform

RPI’s dedicated Publisher Services POD Web2Print platform gives you full control over printing specs, our unique pricing engine, delivery methods and other publishing tools to widely distribute titles.
