Spectra provides a scanning service for document and book reproduction.
We scan documents, novels and reference/academic books to produce print ready PDF files. Old or none digitised, books may come back to life and can be reprinted time and time again, for long or short runs. Ideal for digital web printing these files are fully backed up for excellent imposition.
This reprographic service is for production, publishers, authors/first-time authors and book manufacturing companies who wish to reprint old or non-digitised books for their customers.
CRC or books scanned will be made into PDF format, or reproduced into a text editable version if required. All book manufactures prefer PDF files.

Welcome
To Our Company
Hello and welcome to spectra. This is a family run business set on the lovely Norfolk/Cambridge border.
My expertise and knowledge of today is validated from my experience and job titles of the past 40 years.
Consequently I can treat each and every job with pickings from the past.
I have been in 'print' since 1986 covering most aspects from systems installations in newspapers, magazine printers and jobbing printers to training staff and commissioning new projects here in the UK and Europe.
We moved up to Norfolk in 2000 and started moving into the scanning and OCR of books as this is looking very exciting for the future. Saying future... I installed large OCR dedicated machines in Rome newspaper as data input back in the 80's. These were the size of washing machines and about the same size of 50mb disk drives. We have come a long way in a short time and every advancement is exciting indeed. Never a dull moment in 'print'.
Proofing
It is always recommended to proof the job before printing.
This can be done in several ways. The best and most cost effective is PDF via e-mail if the file is small or downloaded via spectra's ftp site. This file could also be used as searchable to help with the creation of the Index.
Of course, paper proof is also available for those who wish.
There is a free PDF document reader program from Adobe. Most computers sold have Adobe PDF readers installed as standard but if you need this free reader then just click on the link below...
