| What is "print on demand?" |
| For NOAA charts, safety is key |
A "print on demand" product is one that doesn't really exist until an order is placed. Why do we print "to order"? Well, it has to do with safety at sea! Let's say you use chart #13221, Narragansett Bay, and your chart is 18 months old. It's probable that several critical changes (Local Notice to Mariners, or LNMs) were issued to that chart since you bought it. These changes have already been downloaded to OceanGrafix, since NOAA downloads data daily to us. By ordering this chart as a print on demand (POD) chart, you get the very latest LNM changes, as well as Edition changes. See our FAQs section for more info! |
