HOW WE REPRODUCE YOUR BOOK
Each page (including front and back cover) is scanned at 300 dpi in a JPG format. We then crop each page to ensure we capture as much of the text and photos as possible. All books are reproduced in an 8x10 format regardless of their original size. Nothing is lost in this process and your reproduction quality is about 80%-90% of the original. We scan in full color (even black and white pages) so your reproduction will look exactly like the original. After scanning, your book is printed on a high grade bright white paper (double-sided) and plastic see-through covers are then inserted front and back. Finally the book is bound with a black plastic comb to hold it together (referred to as GBC Binding). We have also added hard covers as an alternative to the GBC Binding. These covers add both beauty and added wearability. Samples of these are shown below. The added cost for a hard cover is $15 per book.
In addition to paper reproductions, digital copies on Thumb Drives are also available. Each book is contained in a folder on the Thumb Drive and any page or the entire book can be easily printed.
There are no restrictions on reproducing these files so you can provide them for family or friends. It is our hope, however, that you will refer others to utilize our service for this process.
Below are some images of a completed book (both with GBC Binding and Hard Cover) . Please contact us if you have other questions regarding the reproduction process.
