This is a printed
copy of the manufacturers manual and consists of five books.
Binding preference:
As the customer, can
specify either coil (spiral) or comb binding as well as long edge or short edge
binding by stating your preference in the note to seller box. If no preference
is included with the order the default configuration will be spiral binding (not shown in photo).
Booklet format:
The Manual booklets have clear plastic front and back covers for
protection against stains from spillage or handling. The cover sheet is printed
on glossy thick photo stock and an additional blank heavy cover sheet after the
last page and before the clear back cover. The sheets are 8 1/2" by
11" and are printed on both sides.
Print format:
Please note that our
printers reproduce all colors in the files from the manufacturers but many of
the original manuals are black and white only and those can only be reprinted
as such. We do not change any content. We remove color background from some of
the manual pages as customers have expressed a desire for us to do so but no
print content is changed.
These are not printed on
4 X 6 or 7 X 10 inch but full 8 ½” by 11" sheets. We do not shrink two
pages of manual and double them up on a 8 1/2 by 11" sheet to keep
our costs down like other manual printers. A single sheet contains only two
pages of manual, one front and one on the back. If the manual is large they
consist of two or more booklets. We also crop out excess white margin area to
replicate the largest print and best page coverage.
Some manuals are not
properly formatted for print. Where a manual has many pages that are only partially
printed we condense print from two or more pages to single pages, re-number the
pages and create an index to match. This allows what would be a two volume
manual to be reduced to a single volume with NO LOSS or altering of
information.
About the paper we now
use:
We have recently found a
source for special publication specific photo paper that the manufacturer
claims is 100 brightness. We have tested this paper with our own equipment and
found it exceeds the manufacturers specs by a fair margin. The grain is so fine
a person immediately feels the difference to the touch. Semi-gloss and the feel
of silk. This allows our 2400 dpi class print to be noticed. The paper has high
opacity (eliminating bleed through) and removes the need to use the heavier 28#
paper. The heavier paper just adds weight and bulk to the manuals and offers no
advantage to the final product.
About the print
process we use:
Some laser printers can
cause premature aging of the paper by using higher heat than necessary to fuse
the toner into the paper. We use a toner formulation requiring less heat that
allows us to adjust the fuser temperature of the printers to that lower heat
setting and eliminate the problem.
