Print-on-Demand (POD) PDF Conversion
Quality of POD reproduction is now dependent on the quality of the prepared digital source files - not on the printing process
Modern Print on Demand reproduction equipment has achieved standards of excellence comparable with traditional volume printing. The quality of a finished Print on Demand reproduction is now dependent on the quality of the prepared digital source files - not the printing process.
SunTec provides a complete product and service solution for true Print on Demand - right from digitisation to delivering the printed book to the consumer. Drop shipment services are also available on request.
Our Print on Demand page scanning production is carried out to the highest possible standard. All images are hand-scanned page by page to ensure that any skew in the original printed material is compensated at the scanning time. We have found this is the only approach. Casual scans or ADF scans that subsequently need software rotation, result in a change in the bitmap image dimensions and introduce rotation algorithm disturbances in the text. Our craftsman approach eliminates size and disturbance distortions.
Covers are scanned at 300dpi in 24 bit, colour corrected using colour matching to standard off-set printed swatches on gloss art paper, blemish removed, retouched, sharpened and resized to the standard client trim size requirement with extended bleeds. The spine is resized and adjusted in width to match the requirements of the paper thickness used in the POD printing process.
The final output is a composite PDF containing the foundation bi-tonal scan with imposed greyscale and colour images, and distilled to a standard ready for printing. The cover is a separate file.
