  1. Thank you for offering to clean up TI USER issues 5 and 6.

    I attach a TIF with samples from each issue, scanned at 300dpi
    and saved as uncompressed full colour TIF images. No cleanup work has been done.

    At this size I could upload about 4 pages per week via AA DM for you but try out these samples first and say if you want me to start DMing you more pages.  My uploading is limited by my broadband contract.  England has a slower broadband than most of Europe and where I live it is slower than the Enlish average- not very fast.

      Thanks for your response.  Nice clean up.


       

      Moving up to 600dpi even going to grayscale still leaves us at 17MB per page.  If compression is used this drops to 9MB per page.  Samples of each are attached for examination.

      I would put the magazines in the mail but if they were lost in the mail  they would no longer be available...

      A data DVD sounds like an idea to go for. I think the two magazines would fit onto a single DVD+R.    It would take a little while to scan and burn and I would need your address to send them to.

      Now that the UK is no longer in the EU I would need to stick a customs declaration on- I don't know Italian law in such matters but if I sent a DVD  as a  Gift with a value of £1 that might avoid you having to pay duty/sales tax.

      I have the customs label here but would have to go to our post office to get the stamp which is slightly hazardous due to the unventilated tiny nature of the place but I have now had both vaccinations and time inside should be short. 
       
       If the compressed image is one you could work with we are looking at downloading at about 10 pages per week via AA IM for four weeks - safer than going to the post office. See what you think of the result of the compressed imaged attached. I have various compression forms available, this TIF image has been produced using LZW compression which is much better than the better known jpg compression. The image can be viewed with your usual TIF viewer.
       
      Magazines disappeared with no notice and little fanfare- I have not heard of these two issues apart from the copies I have, so I would classify them as extremely rare. I cannot recall where I got them from.
