print run

== English == === Noun === print run (plural print runs) The total number of copies (of a book edition) printed as one batch on the printing press (that is, from one setup on the press). Synonym: printing The total number of copies (of a book edition or a newspaper edition) ever printed. ==== Usage notes ==== The advent of print on demand technology has in some cases replaced the earlier paradigm of (size and count of) print runs in book publishing; a book that might have had four runs of 5,000 copies each might now have hundreds of instances of smaller-batch printing on demand. ==== Translations ==== === References === “print run”, in Lexico, Dictionary.com; Oxford University Press, 2019–2022.
