MagCloud is a vanity press service of Hewlett-Packard which offers on demand sale of digital editions and single issue printing of magazines on demand for customers. Magazines are printed in full color via HP's indigo printers on high quality standard sized 8.5 x 11 inch paper at a cost of US $0.20 per page. Authors set the cost for the publication and receive profits from the MagCloud service periodically.[1][2] In addition introduction to the market by new, small publications, the service is used by existing magazines and publications with a more traditional distribution method to make back issues available for sale.[1]
