Abstract: Systems and methods for on-demand publication of religious works include receiving user selections for exterior customization options, interior customization options, and a prompt to add user-added or user-created content. The disclosed systems and methods compiled customized religious works and optionally print some portion of a hard copy of the religious work on a thin paper that is 28-50 grams per square meter or less. In some examples, the printing process includes light-fusion printing processes, and/or an electronic copy format of the customized religious works created. The example printing process can print single volume or low volumes of hard copies of customized religious works using the light-fusion printing processes.
