Lightning Source — Electrified Book Production

“This is an unprecedented opportunity for publishers to make available thousands of titles to readers with sight problems in an efficient and cost-effective manner,” Taylor contends. “For the first time, large print books can become widely available in book shops.”

Best adds that Lightning Source’s HP Indigo equipment is also allowing them to launch a new photobook initiative. “We’re jumping into the market for 4x6˝ prints developed and set up in a hard cover book for display,” he says. “There are about 80 companies that have photo software projects, and we’re hoping to be the back end for all of them.”
