MagCloud is a web service from Hewlett-Packard that allows users to self-publish and distribute content—for business or personal use—as a professional-quality print publication or digitally for mobile and online viewing. Magazines are printed in full color via HP's indigo printers on high quality paper in a variety of sizes and formats at a cost of US $0.16 or $0.20 per page. Authors set the cost for the publication and receive profits from the MagCloud service periodically. MagCloud offers users a variety of publishing and distributions services including automated ordering, print management, worldwide shipping, direct mail services, digital distribution and an online storefront all free of charge. [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]
