Ditial Prepress--Beta Watch!

Purup-Eskofot designed a new EskoScan, the EskoScan 3648, to be a black-and-white copydot scanner that does just what Offset Paperback needed—reverse imposition. The unit arrived at Offset Paperback in January. Using the new reverse imposition scanner, the layouts of the two front films are created manually, using the scanner preview. The size of the bounding box of one page is pre-defined, and in the enlarged preview the user simply drags the bounding box into position for each page, aligning to the left side and top of the text.
