[PADG:1336] Re: preservation photocopy

[Pete Merrill-Oldham <pete@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At Acme Bookbinding we refer to the reproductions we make as Preservation
Facsimiles.  For the most part, we scan and print b&w at 600 dpi, and use a
digital color copiers to reproduce the color and grayscale.  Preservation
Facsimiles seems to cover it all.

Subject: [PADG:1335] Re: preservation photocopy


Michaelle L. Biddle's query reminds me of a question I have had for some
time.  

Our contractor actually scans page images rather than photocopying them.  
Just as our office "photocopier" does now.  I have started to use the
phrase "facsimile copying" for the copying of an entire book and
reproducing it as a new, bound volume.  Doesn't exactly trip over the
tongue the way preservation photocopying does, nor am I entirely certain
that people understand immediately as they might with the old phrase.

Any ideas on a term/phrase which is not bound to the process of
reproduction or which is more accurate and/or pretty?
