Print on Demand

All I wanted was white pages inside my book. Who would have thought that I would have to research over 50 print-on-demand (pod) publishers to find one that prints on white paper? It turns out the almost all the pod publishers use the same printer. It is Ingram's printer, Lightning Source. Ingram is a (the?) wholesale bookseller. For some reason, Lightning Source has decided that books 5.25 x 8.25 and smaller will be printed on cream (creme) colored paper. The paper quality is the same as the white paper used in bigger books. It's not the pulp paper that mass paperbacks are printed on. But it's not white. Anything over 5.25 x 8.25 can be printed on white paper. Weird, huh? So, my choice for a print-on-demand publisher was ebookstand. They are one of the very few that use a different printer that prints on white paper.
