The Overview
Honoring A Cherished Tradition
A siddur is a Hebrew prayer book that is a fixture in Jewish culture and tradition. For the Jewish community, a finely crafted siddur is a point of pride. Printing a siddur comes with great obligation and responsibility, something that printer highresolution® was well aware of when they were asked to produce a small-run siddur with an elevated print quality to honor this cherished text.
The Details
Deconstruction and Reconstruction
Aside from achieving stunning color quality when printing this siddur’s watercolor artwork, the primary challenge was taking a digitally printed version of the book and retrofitting it for production on an HP Indigo press. This required scanning and removing type from every page to enhance the images before reconstructing the files for production. This also required great attention to detail in order to enlarge the page and image size without distorting the artwork or compromising the quality.
The Results
A Prayer Book With Pride and Meaning
The smoothness and high brightness of Accent® Opaque 100 lb. Text helps create a high-quality siddur that reflects the significance the Jewish community places on the ideas and principles contained in the text. With a beautifully designed slipcase and canvas bag for additional protection, this siddur is both eye-catching and functional. A quarter-bound cover and ribbon headband enhance the unique character of this siddur, making it a keepsake worthy of display.
