Book Differences | Standard, Biblical or Glossy Paper Types
Archiving and Scanning Digitisation at Oxford Duplication Centre
PAPER DIFFERENCES - STANDARD, BIBLICAL AND GLOSSY PAPER DIARY AND BOOK SCANNING
All scanners are cleaned prior to scanning to ensure that dust and other obstacles do not affect the scanning process. Acid free gloves are used by all technicians to ensure fingerprints are not transferred.
Standard Paper - Most books use standard paper, these include academic and historical books. These books are quite easy to scan because the paper is very robust with orders taking less than a week.
Biblical Paper - Religious books of text is recognisation due to the thin paper. Usually quite see through and typically consist of several hundred to over a thousand pages per book. This paper takes longer to scan because more care must be taken due to the nature of the thin pages and to ensure the best care of the paper.
Glossy Paper - Usually typically used for magazines, text books and certain types of educational books. The paper is shiny, smooth and reflective. These are typically found in full colour because the paper is very vibrant bringing out the colours. This paper is quite complicated due to it attracting dust and reflection of light. These books take the longest to produce and we would normally ask for 2-3 weeks per order unless urgent.
