Printing 100 copies costs more per unit than 1,000. Know your minimums.
Print has high fixed costs (press setup) that only drop with volume. You'll learn cost per unit (how expensive per copy at different volumes?), sell-through rate (will this print sell out or sit in warehouse?), and royalty rates (if publishing others, what do you keep?). You'll understand that digital publishing changes the economics entirely — no fixed print costs but lower margins.
