Typesetting

We design and typeset many different types of material, from multi-lingual textbooks and first-time novels to product brochures.

We follow good design principles. From the selection of the type by font, point size, leading and tracking etc, through the arrangement of all the elements on a page, to incorporating and integrating all the various components of the book, we can provide a clear, coherent and attractive whole book.

Graphics

Good looking graphics and images are vital to both the professional look of a book, and to the clarity of its presentation. We undertake all sorts of graphic work: repro, graph and table origination, photo damage, masking and colour correction etc. For complex origination and animation we can sub-contract to specialist companies.
