Publications

Agfa's series of award-winning Digital Color Prepress publications provides objective and helpful information about digital imaging and the technology behind it. Nearly half a million copies of the Digital Color Prepress series have been distributed since the first volume was published in 1990. The series consists of five volumes that are printed in as many as eight languages and distributed in more than 50 countries. These books are highly visual--created by Yo Design, a leader in information design.

An Introduction to Digital Color Prepress helps you to better understand the fundamental concepts of digital color prepress--from the changing steps in the production cycle to the many ways software and hardware can be used.

Volume Two, A Guide to Color Separation, focuses on the digital transformation of photographic originals into realistic and compelling printed pages. Newer subjects like stochastic screening and HiFi printing are examined and shown in full color.

Key elements in the working relationship between document creators and their service providers are clearly explained in Volume Three, Working With Prepress and Printing Suppliers. It also will help you choose the right vendors for the tasks you need done, and to avoid costly mistakes during the course of your work.

An Introduction to Digital Scanning is a valuable guide for scanner users at all levels of expertise. It explains and extensively illustrates scanning techniques and terminology. You'll learn simple rules for achieving the best possible scanning results, and how to avoid potential errors.

An Introduction to Digital Photo Imaging explains how computer technology is blending with and changing traditional photography, and the impact this new technology has on photographers and other imaging professionals.

To learn about all the essential aspects of digital printing, you'll need An Introduction to Digital Color Printing. This volume defines digital printing, explains how it differs from conventional techniques, illustrates its strengths and weaknesses, and instructs on how best to take advantage of its capabilities. Included are time-saving tips and practical advice as well as comparisons of digital and offset printing output.

A new addition to the Digital Color Prepress Publications is the Agfa Guide to Digital Color Prepress Interactive CD-ROM Edition, a Mac-only comprehensive companion to our award-winning series of printed booklets.
