Typesetting

Typesetting services are available in the following software using both Macintosh and Microsoft Windows platforms:

 

• TeX/LaTeX
• QuarkXpress
• InDesign
• PageMaker
• Word

We use Quark/Indesign for magazines and books that are heavily designed and illustrated. We also have extensions for tables and math settings. The range of projects for which we use Quark/Indesign/ PageMaker/Word:

 

• Columnar text jobs with 2 or more columns involving significant design work
• Plain text – social science, law books, novels and school books
• Heavy tables – finance, marketing, directory and economics
• High colour illustrations – medicine journals, atlas, comics and children books
• Books/journals with simple math

TeX is platform-independent and is ideal for heavy mathematical and scientific settings. We use TeX/LaTex for books/journals which need complex math settings. We undertake projects in LaTex with client-provided style/class files; in-house style/class files can also be developed based on specific client needs.
