Page Layout & Composition
Our focus is on content readability and a visually pleasing page layout for 1-, 2-, and 4-color books. We use professional page layout software, InDesign and Quark. These tools do the job of formatting text, tables, and charts; creating page layout including placing graphics and photos; and providing PDF/application files to the printer. We also offer 3B2 batch pagination through our outsourcing program. We can also provide XML file application.
Graphics & Scanning
MBA can make use of your existing graphic files with our file conversion capabilities, or we can create illustrations from a rough sketch. If your book includes photographs or images too difficult to re-render, we can scan your material and create electronic files for use in page production to ensure quality reproduction. We also provide photo research for all disciplines.
Printer Services
Select a printer: We can obtain several printing quotes based on an initial castoff of the final page count and specifications of your book.
File preparation: We work closely with printers to ensure the electronic files we provide are compatible with the printer’s pre-press department’s current technology.
Printer proof review: We review and approve printer proofs, or we have them sent directly to you for review and approval.
