1. A computer-implemented method for creating a combination volume and electronic volume, the method comprising: receiving, at an encoding device, content of an electronic volume; creating, at the encoding device, colored cells within a color space to provide an encoded representation of the received content in an image by processing the received content to obtain a stream of integers, each integer in the stream of integers corresponding to a color in the color space for a cell in the image; creating, at the encoding device, one or more additional cells, including color calibration cells, adjoining the encoded image, the one or more additional cells created to correct color distortion in the encoded image by determining a pseudo-Euclidean metric in the color space, the metric measuring a distance including a measure of an average of: (a) a red component in the colored cells and (b) a red component in the color calibration cells; and printing the image onto a page of a volume.
