Last year I was able to retrieve the Mastertouch web site and have
it reactivated on my domain.  Using this site you can find details of
the many Mastertouch rolls that were in production when they closed.
The URL is https://mastertouch.bookproduction.org/index.html 

If you use the Alphabetical Roll Title Catalogue you will see blue
numbers on the right.  By clicking one of these a new window will
open and you will get additional information.

When time permits I will add to this database using old catalogues
and my own substantial collection of Mastertouch rolls.

The Catalogues

This year I have been concentrating on scanning as many of the
Mastertouch catalogues that I can find.  Some of these came from the
late Barry Lloyd collection which is currently held by Ray Palmer.

These catalogues have been reconstructed as clearly and accurately as
possible and apart from some of the Supplement leaflets can be printed
on A4 size paper from the PDF files.  The electronic PDF files have
also been processed so that they are searchable for any key-word or
number.  This has been achieved using Adobe Acrobat Professional text
recognition software called Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

The scanning of the Catalogues was carried out using a Kodak i2900
scanner set at 600 ppi (pixels per inch).  This scanner is auto-feed
double-sided 60 page per minute (120 sides per minute).  Other scanners
used were an Epson Perfection V850 Pro and a Plustek Opticbook A300.
