The Non-Designer’s Scan and Print Book starts at the place where every publisher should start—the end. It's always important to know how you plan to produce a publication and what the final output device will be before you begin.
By answering a few basic questions first, you can plan your work for a minimum of changes during the final stages. This book leads you in the right direction, with discussions of paper use, graphics, and color. But more importantly, it goes into detail about the process of printing to laser printers, inkjet printers, and imagesetters. The authors provide information that will help you find a print shop, and they explain different types of picture file formats.
As its title implies, the book covers the principles of scanners and scanning as well. It also includes basic information on digital cameras and Kodak Photo CDs, and the use of stock photos and clip art.
The Non-Designer’s Scan and Print Book can help you understand what goes into and comes out of Ventura and other publishing programs, and gives you what you need to know about production and prepress to get great-looking pages.
