According to my recent interaction with the folks at ~RepairManuals.com, Yamaha has outsourced their printing to Crestec, which is the company being dealt with at ~YamahaPubs.com.  The manuals I received from RepairManuals.com, printed in the USA (presumably, therefore, by Crestec), had very poor quality images.  On the other hand, the owner's manual I ordered directly from YamahaPubs (a.k.a. Crestec) had a Genuine Yamaha wrapper and was of very high quality, an original print from the early 90's.
Yamaha has outsourced their printing to Crestec, the company behind YamahaPubs.com.  I ordered a recently-printed shop manual for a 1993 GTS-1000 and found all of the images to be illegibleThe company denied responsibility for this, blaming it on Yamaha.
