Why I Chose Print-on-Demand at Maktoub Studio

Why I Chose Print-on-Demand at Maktoub Studio

 

At Maktoub Studio, every book, poster, and creation I share is a heartfelt invitation to reconnect with meaning. I am as intentional about how these pieces come into the world just as much as what they say.

That’s why I choose e-books and print-on-demand (POD). It’s a conscious decision to care for the earth, support community, and honor the creative process itself.

Traditional publishing, with its bulk printing and wasted stock, just doesn’t feel right anymore. So many books sit unread, wasting trees, water, ink, energy, and labor. POD flips this by only producing what you actually want. No excess, no waste, no landfill leftovers.

This means I can create with heart, experiment freely, and avoid huge upfront costs. For you, it means soulful, high-quality products made just for you, not mass-produced or watered down.

Many works are available as e-books or digital prints, which are affordable, accessible anywhere, and kinder to the planet. And when you want something tangible, it’s printed on demand and shipped with care.

I partner with trusted print-on-demand platforms like Printful (posters) and Lulu (books soon), both committed to local fulfillment, recycled materials, and reduced emissions.

Sustainability at Maktoub Studio is a business choice and a daily practice. I align with partners who prioritize ethical sourcing, waterless printing, recycled packaging, and minimizing environmental impact.

It’s not perfect yet, but it’s better, and I’m committed to growing as the technology improves.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Every e-book you download, poster you order, or share you make supports a new kind of publishing, one that honors the planet, the maker, and you.

With gratitude,
Ratiba
