Product Description
Synopsis
Print on demand is a new technology that is being adopted by both small and large publishing companies. Instead of printing several thousand copies of a book in one go and storing them until they are needed, print on demand enables publishers to print single copies of books as and when they are required. This technology goes hand-in-hand with the digital manipulation of files, and digital, web-based work-flows. The digital nature of the printing means that there are complex quality issues when it comes to text and graphics. In order to achieve the best illustrations, photos and text it is necessary to go through a lot of experimentation before achieving the required results. This book helps you avoid all that by looking at the issues involved. It includes: - Extensive examples of fonts; outlined, grayed, etc. - Resolution and detail issues of images - Dealing with line and shaded illustrations - Fine tuning of drop shadows - Checking page alignment - Comparisons of vector and bitmapped images And much more. This book deals specifically with the printing process used by one of the most popular suppliers of print on demand services; Lightning Source. and includes many comprehensive examples of different styles and graphic techniques enabling you to see for yourself what works and what doesn t. A vital reference for anyone wanting to get the best results from their print on demand project with Lightning Source. Find out more on www.idhub.com/pod
