Simulated Print Demand

摘要

A computer readable memory (8) having machine readable instructions can comprise a simulation engine (20) to receive project data characterizing a project of a print buyer (5). The project can comprise a production of printed material. The simulation engine (20) can also generate a simulated print demand that characterizes a print demand for the printed material for the project. The simulation engine (20) can generate print service provider (PSP) simulation results based on print demand data that includes an actual print demand provided from a plurality of print buyers (5) or the simulated print demand generated for the project. The machine readable instructions can also comprise an analyzer (22) to identify a PSP (18) of a plurality of PSPs (18) based on a simulated fulfillment of the print demand at each of the plurality of PSPs (18).
