Hello folks,
I’m back ;-)
Please have a look at this scan:
https://x2t.com/sksb_smudge191
I marked with red several words which, besides the letters ‘a’ and ‘l’, have printing distortions (smudging?).
Also, if magnified (see left side box) other distortions are evident in most characters.
Notice that right side text is the 2nd paragraph style mentioned previously (contains distorted chars, worst then Body Type). The left-hand side paragraph is Body Text.
@Dwayne: yes, my PDFs look perfect, this was confirmed even Lulu’s tech service.
