print run
Copies being produced
A print run is the number of copies of a book, newspaper, or other publication produced in a single printing: The first print run of 50,000 copies sold out in a week.
A larger print run typically means lower cost per copy but greater risk if sales disappoint.
The term also refers to the printing event itself: We're doing another print run next month.
