Desktop Publishing

This is a replacement for the "Desktop Publishing Guide". It provides an overview of DTP technology and techniques for commercial and business publishers presenting choices and advice on how to decide at an introductory level.

---

This text covers all aspects of desktop publishing technology from how to evaluate which system, which platform and which software you need to invest in, to the ins-and-outs of scanners and bureau services, colour management, proofing, getting the pages out and building a system (finance, suppliers, training, personnel maintenance). Advice is given in an accessible style and the book assumes no prior knowledge. It should be of interest to people needing to know about DTP at an introductory level.
