Dear Lulu: sample book for testing digital printing

Speak Up recently took a look at Dear Lulu an extremely useful and imaginative sample book desgined to test the digital printing capabilities of print-on-demand service Lulu. The book was put together by 14 students and a professor at a workshop at Germany’s Hochschule Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, and tests various colour modes, type sizes, patterns, inks, and other ways to put these systems to the test.

The days in which digital print-on-demand meant expensive and low quality products is nearly behind us, as the results seem to indicate. You can buy a copy of the book or download a free PDF version which you can use to test the digital printer of your choice.

    Hi,

    I have published a book through Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/content/2698184) and was very pleased with the quality of printing and delivery service. However, I still wish I had access to this book beforehand!
