Plaintext

Over 90 percent of the information in the world is still on paper. Many
of those paper documents include color graphics and/or photographs that
represent significant invested value. And almost none of that rich
content is on the Internet.
That's because scanning such documents and getting them onto a Web site
has been problematic at best. At the high resolution necessary to
preserve the quality of images and to keep type readable, file sizes
become far too bulky for acceptable download speed. Reducing resolution
to achieve satisfactory download speed means forfeiting quality and
legibility. Conventional JPEG and GIF compression techniques only begin
to solve the problem. As a result, Web site content developers have been
unable to leverage existing printed materials.
Until now...
