Digital Technologies for Books Reshaping All Production
While high volumes of course packs are not unusual, combining color covers with monochrome “book blocks” to make more attractive course packs is unusual. Simon Fraser University Document Solutions, in Vancouver, British Columbia, does this, using a Xerox iGen3 to create covers. Business professor Peter Tingling says the old packs were of low quality and didn’t look professional. Holding up a current example he says, “This looks like something students will want to pay for, use and reference.”
