"Print on demand" publishing is a well-known method, and can produce "originals", not copies.You've made an incorrect assumption. The manuals aren't photocopied, but are printed to a laser printer from the master document. Some are PDF files, others are in different formats. All manuals appear in their original condition as they were transferred to Syndicomm from The Byte Works. Sheppy would never cheap out and just provide photocopies.
In that case, either the printer is in need of periodic maintenance or the PDF files are quite strange, since filled-in "e"s should not happen. Admittedly, the original schematics in the published books were severely photoreduced, and so were quite demanding of the printing process, but a 600-1200 dpi laser printer should be up to it... -michael New, faster SUDOKU v2.0 solver for Apple II's!
