[Marxism] new printing machine

[Andrew Pollack <acpollack2@xxxxxxxxx>]

At the two links below is news of a new printing machine which does  books 
superfast and cheap. It's in the news because of a demonstration  being given 
at the NY Public Library.
  The main function of the machine is said to be the ability to do very  cheap 
limited runs of books the major publishers can't be bothered  with. For those 
who know something about the publishing business (which  I don't): If the price 
for the machine itself ends up being $20,000 as  quoted in the Times article, 
does this make it useful for left  publishers?
