What I meant is that KDP Print and IngramSpark are designed for people who want to sell their books to the public -- on Amazon, B&N, etc., and in bookstores in the case of IngramSpark. If you don't want your book sold that way and you only want a copy for yourself, then it's probably simpler to approach a local printer to print one copy.

If you do want to sell your book to the public, then KDP Print or IngramSpark is the way to go.
