Review:

Never mind all the Web and CD-ROM publishers out there, print publishing is still a thriving industry. And it's no easier than before to learn the ins and outs of digital prepress. This is the book to read if you're fairly new to print publishing and are involved in preparing electronic documents for print. Each chapter starts with a common problem, such as dealing with a bad scan, and goes on to explain how to avoid each worst-case scenario. The authors start off with advice on setting up a production environment with the right hardware and software, and move on to managing fonts and files, using vector and raster based images, scanning, working with color, laying out pages, trapping, and preparing files for output.
