Digital education and learning-enhancement company Emantras announced its partnership with digital printer Odyssey Press. The partnership with Odyssey will add on-demand printing for end users of Emantras' REED (Rapid e-Book and e-Journal) platform.

With the addition of Odyssey's print-on-demand, users will be able to order printed copies of e-books and e-journals with a mouse-click, allowing instructors to order printed copies of texts for classroom or other student use.

 "We are delighted to have Odyssey Press as a partner. Odyssey's print feature will augment the existing educational environment within the REED platform. The option to have professional print quality versions of the e-books available to the end user is a win-win for publishers as well. A publisher no longer needs to print and store high levels of inventory, or worry about worry about managing the reprinting of their books. Odyssey's on-demand service will take care of these burdens and provide new revenue sources for the publisher," said Michael Medina, Director STM Publishing at Emantras, in a prepared statement.

The REED platform allows publishers to create and manage digital content, providing them with a comprehensive set of learning workflow and collaborative tools. Through the platform, education professionals have the ability to deliver class notes, PowerPoint slides, and links to a range of relevant materials, directly to students at the point of reference from within the digital document.
