What is Desktop Publishing or DTP?
Desktop publishing, commonly known as DTP, is the most advanced method
of computer technology used for publishing any kind of text material
into forms such as books, magazines, and brochures. The process at
various stages includes editing, designing, layout, and typesetting,
using the computer and specific types of software to combine text
and graphics. Specific Desktop publishing software such as QuarkXPress,
and Adobe InDesign are used for such tasks.
How is the business processed after outsourcing the work?
We analyze the client's requirement with sample if any, and specifications
sent (in hard copy /soft copy) to us. The sample work done by us will
be sent to the client for scrutiny. Once it is approved, the real
work goes through the hands of our experienced and expert team of
designers, typesetters, and proofreaders. The work will be reviewed
by our Quality Control department at every stage in frequent intervals.
After final auditing is done, the finished work will be dispatched
to the client.
