Technical Standards Committee: Intermediate Report
(as of Nov. 5, 2002)


1. Scanning Quality:

600 dpi bitonal (minimum quality level)
(300 dpi bitonal/grayscale is discouraged)

In special cases and in the long run, higher resolutions,
grayscale, or even color may be more suitable.

Obvious flaws of the printing like skewed printing areas
should be corrected during the scanning process.

The printing area of each page should be positioned at the same place for all pages of a given object, possibly reflecting the differences for "right" and "left" pages.

Page jumpings, rotations, varying margins and dimensions of images are discouraged.

(Note: a possible choice could be the approach chosen by Gallica: Always put the text into the minimum ISO A* format into which it fits.)
