Typography
Now
that most artwork is produced digitally, the word 'typography'
isn't heard much these days. However, creating a balance
between text and graphics is still essential. We produce
type-mark-ups of the highest calibre, an absolute necessity
when producing style or corporate identity guidelines for
others to follow.

Typesetting
We
provide a complete typesetting and page make-up service
to many of our customers, ranging from simple text input
to more complex data conversion and data merging programmes.
The
original data can be supplied to us in a variety of digital
formats, which might include files output from an existing
database, spreadsheet or word processing package, or as
handwritten copy.
Complex
data can be converted into a suitable format, and then managed
through the page make-up process with various proofing procedures
until the finished digital artwork is ready for output.
Scanning
prints and transparencies, or manipulating digital images,
is all part of the service.

Artwork/Paste-up
We
provide a complete typesetting and page make-up service.
Your
data can be supplied to us in virtually any format: Digital
files from a database, spreadsheet or word processing package;
from Corel, HTML, Illustrator, InDesign, PageMaker, PowerPoint
or Photoshop; from hard
or handwritten copy; or perhaps from photographs or paper-cuttings.
We
will tap, extract, scan, re-draw or re-work text or graphics
as necessary - However, to avoid charges associated with
improving bad-quality images, all material should be supplied
at the highest quality possible.
Once
complete, we can supply the artwork to you, print in any
quantity, or produce hand-made items such as proofing dummies,
presentation one-offs, cardboard engineered items, or any
other item requiring hand-finishing, mounting, framing,
or mechanical finishing.

Proof
Reading
Checking
proofs is a tedious but critical task. Any mistake overlooked
can be costly. Computer spellchecking programmes can be
of some use but most have their limitations. They are usually
based on US English, are unable to distinguish between tenses
or homonyms, and cannot read for sense or consistency.
We
provide a proofreading service of varying depth dependent
upon the clients' wishes. If we are supplied with a digital
file we will gladly undertake the changes. Alternatively
we will supply hard copy recommendations.
On
request we will check for:
