I found few books with satisfying quality and make them even better by removing some scratches. Some are also collected from old scanned documents I had access to. I cannot share the PDFs with you, but you can taste the quality a bit looking on the gallery below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used EPSON L382 ink printer and premium paper PRO-DESIGN 160g (160GMS) in standard A4 format.
