planz666 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Apologies if this has been covered,but I think that Rotographic might offer a better alternative to Spinks given my collecting preferences.I notice that the pdf florins page is in colour on the website,but when viewed there is a note to say that the printed version will be in shades of grey.I really liked the cartwheel page which is in colour.My question is are there colour plates in the printed version?These are not only attractive,but helpful in terms of grading...I like the layout of the Rotographic book,and if it has colour plates then it has to go on Santas list...........

Chris Perkins Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 The reason the printed version is black and white is purely to keep the retail price under £5.00. The costs are obviously higher to print full/part colour books.The actual book is generated electronically in full technicolour and the available electronic version is a full colour PDF. On the main predecimal.com book section if you have a look at the printed version there is an option to buy it and the colour PDF with a small saving!The PDF is only available through Rotographic/Predecimal!

planz666 Posted December 17, 2005 Author Posted December 17, 2005 Thanks Chris,I'll be downloading it!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Ok!If you print it though, bear in mind that it won't be book quality 300dpi unless your printer is a good one and you use photo paper. Most home printers do about 150-200dpi on the page, whereas professionally produced books are at least 300dpi.But nevermind all the techie stuff, I'm sure you'll find it useful. When you buy it, it will be made instantly available to you. Quote
Unknown Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 In any case I would advice you to get the printed version to. Very usefull to take to shows and coin shops. Quote
