Grayscale and Color Imaging

At Southwest Data, we use color and grayscale imaging to enhance the appearance of the graphics in high-end text conversion files, such as PDF Normal, using a flat bed scanner.

Normal b&w scanning at 200 to 400 dpi produces clear text images but photos and color images experience some lossiness.

To correct this, the documents are separately scanned on a color flat bed scanner. The images are cropped out and inserted into the converted text files, replacing the scanned b&w images.

The difference in appearance is often dramatic, and critical to a successful conversion.

 

The process of graphic enhancement is optional, and will add to the overall cost of your project if requested.

This process is always used in full formatting or PDF normal conversions . . .
