Typesetting

ksiazka TTypesetting is the most important part of the "printing process". During typesetting your thesis will obtain it's final graphical form. All the word processor texts are imported into professional DTP software. Using this software I find and correct all the special characters (typical examples: degree sign, space around math symbols, upper and lower indexes and many more) and I apply your desired layout. I convert all your figures into print-friendly formats and colour spaces to keep maximum quality. I adapt the size and position of figures to fit to the layout and to unify them trough the whole thesis. Depending on the complexity and volume of the manusript the typesetting process takes from few days up to two weeks.

During this stage you can choose the style of the book, should it have a modern or old-school look? Should it be more fancy or simplier? I can adjust all the layout to fit exactly into your desired and imagined thesis! Make it the way you will love!

The great advantage of the professional typesetting is that you do not prepare files yourself. Probably you have seen some guides how to export files into a proper PDF - sometimes there is a very complicated path to reach particular technology requirements. With me it is not the case, as I deal with all the technical stuff, no matter which printing technique or cover finish you choose. All is customized and optimized for you!

Want to print your book by yourself? OK! You are most welcome also if all you need is typesetting! 

Prepare your manuscript

ksiazka pioroYour manuscript should be as simple as possible. This means that you do not need to use any advanced formatting or sophisticated graphical effects. During import to the publishing software all the styles shall be converted to fit the layout of the book.

Figures

ksiazka figures

Here are some tips on the best practices when sending your figures.

  • Figures embeded in your text editor are not suitabe for professional publishing, so if you place them there they will serve just as a preview. Prepare and supply all your figures, graphs and illustrations in their original, graphic formats (like PDF, EPS, WMF, EMF, TIFF, PSD, JPG, etc.).
  • If possible do not enlarge the files in a photo image processing software.
  • Crop the images to have only the necessary information.
  • If you export any graphs from a statistic software always choose a vector based formats, i.e. PDF, EPS, WMF or EMF (preferably with the order given, so PDF as a first choice, EPS as second, and so on). Try to avoid bitmap based images like TIFF (as a first-choice format), PNG, JPG or BMP. If bitmap image is your only choice then set up the highest image quality possible (resolution and/or size) and choose the file format.
  • If you expect a graph to have 10×10 cm dimensions, then you would choose a resolution of 300 dpi with and the size 100×100 mm or a size in pixels 1200×1200 px. For each 1 cm of a dimension you need at least 120 px.
  • If you have black&white bitmap figures consider converting them into grayscale colour space, this wil reduce file size and make the sending process a bit faster.
  • Name the figure files to allow to identify them easily with the chapter number first i.e. "ch1_fig_1.pdf" or "C2_F5.tiff".
  • Have a figure in a very bad quality? Let me see it and I will check how to improve the quality. If it is necessary I will draw it from scratch!
