Production Services

Typesetting that handles any level of complexity.

High-quality design output optimized for print, dynamic online media, or both — from plain text to complex multi-column STM and illustrated journals.

A typesetting workspace: a laptop running page-layout software on chapter 01 Introduction with a molecular illustration placed to a baseline grid, an open printed journal with bar charts and a full-page micrograph, a colour bar and registration mark on a proof sheet, a tablet showing a preflight checklist (text overflow, missing fonts, image resolution, colour profile, bleed & margin, links & references) all ticked, a spiral sketchbook of layout thumbnails with a Baseline Grid Alignment sticky note, a pen, and a stack of books titled The Elements of Typographic Style, Grid Systems in Graphic Design and Publishing Workflow.
What's included

Typesetting that handles any level of complexity.

From simple running text to multi-column STM and intricately illustrated journals, we deliver high-quality design output optimised for print, dynamic online media, or both.

Typesetting

From plain running text to multi-column STM and heavily illustrated journals — laid out in the tool that fits the job and matched to your house style.

Design & Layout

Page grids, running heads, figure and table placement, front and back matter — composed to a consistent system across the whole book or journal.

Print & Digital Output

Press-ready PDFs and platform-ready digital files from one composed source — so a title doesn't need a separate production pass for each format.

InDesign
3B2
QuarkXpress
TeX / LaTeX
