Typesetting and Design
The Typesetting process starts after the book design and layout
has been finalized. Once
typeset the book is proofread, and is then ready for the generation
of digital print files, from which film is generated for
processing
into offset plates for printing. For short print runs the files can be
processed directly to plates, ready for printing. Book design
takes into account the type of book in terms of content, whether it
will be printed on plain paper, art paper, or textured paper. Other
factors are page size, whether images will be used, and whether images will
be black and white or in colour. Additional factors in the case of academic books, are whether the book will have footnotes or end notes, and any other reference matter. Another area is redesign
of an earlier edition or an out of print book. Redesigning can, and
usually does involve the change of spellings and punctuation to bring
them up to date, and proofreading to correct any errors which were present in the original edition.
