PREPRESS

When preparing your publication for printing, we perform the following types of work:

	Typing, proofreading and editing of text;
	Layout;
	Creating and processing illustrations. Retouching, colour correction, clipping;
	Designing individual elements of the book — covers, flyleaves, headers, etc.

Editing of texts:

Proofreading of texts:

Proofreading is a stage in the production process of printed materials in which various errors and imperfections made during editing and typesetting are corrected. Proofreading is an important publishing process designed to eliminate errors, typos, misspellings and other imperfections that impair the perception of the text in the finished, published edition.

The main tasks of a proofreader:

	Eliminate typesetting errors that distort the original (omissions, transposition of letters, syllables, punctuation, etc.)
	eliminating errors not seen in the original.

Book layout:

The editor is not always able to determine exactly what the book will look like. The editor’s job is to think about the overall look of the publication and determine all the necessary elements. After that, the book is handed over to the typesetter. The typesetter receives the text files and folders with photos, he looks through the materials received and imagines the result of his work in advance. More often than not, he will design the layout himself, and in doing so he must take into account all of the customer’s wishes. Of course, he will apply his knowledge and experience and be guided by the general rules of book layout.

The typesetter not only works with the text but also (as a layout designer) places illustrations on the pages. In doing so he is obliged to follow several rules. First of all, he must remember that the illustrations must facilitate the perception of the book as a whole. The planner must have a certain artistic taste and avoid stylistic discord. Of course, he must also remember that the logical completion of the book is not possible without following all the layout rules. If in order to simplify the process of layout one has to «adjust the layout to the convenience» of the layout designer, then in the finished book such deviations from the rules are not allowed.

Actually typesetting is placement of materials (text and images) on pages of a certain format. All the layout requirements can be divided into compositional, hygienic and stylistic.

Design work:

There are many factors to consider when working on a print product design — the type of product, the printing and the post-printing work required.

You can come to us either with ready-made design solutions or order design of printed products from us. Our designers will select fonts which are best suited to a particular printed matter, propose colour solutions, variants of successful arrangement of illustrations, photos and text blocks, and prepare layouts for printing in accordance with all rules and requirements.
