DTP and print preparation
Platforms & tools
An on-screen design and a production-ready file are different stages. We organise layouts and check technical settings against the printer’s requirements before files go into production.

Who it is for
For businesses producing catalogues, leaflets, packaging and publications, or adapting existing designs. DTP helps organise substantial content and address technical requirements before printing.
A scope shaped around your needs
- Publication layout and text hierarchy.
- Adaptation to size, dieline or production specifications.
- Checks of images, bleed, fonts and agreed colour settings.
- File export and production notes.
What you receive
You receive agreed production files and a proof for approval. Checks follow the supplied production specification. Copyediting, a physical colour proof and legal review of product labelling are separate services if commissioned.
How we work
- Printer specifications
- materials
- layout or adaptation
- content approval
- file checks
- handover
The version approved for printing is clearly identified before production.
What we need to get started
Prepare final copy, the highest-resolution images available, source files, dimensions and printer specifications. Packaging also requires an approved dieline and all mandatory information.
What affects cost and timing
Page count, tables, language versions, source file quality and adaptations affect the work. Missing assets and copy changes after layout can alter the schedule; additional work is agreed before proceeding.
The agreed scope and quotation are set out in the proposal. Where relevant, licences, production, advertising spend and third-party services are priced separately.

Good to know
A few useful answers.
Planning the scope or preparing your materials? These answers will help you get started.
Ask usDoes DTP include writing the content?
Typesetting and technical preparation are separate from writing, editing and proofreading. Mention these needs in your enquiry; responsibilities are confirmed in the proposal.
What should I provide for typesetting?
Final copy, available high-quality images, tables, logo and identity guidelines. We also need page size, extent and printer specifications where known.
Is every PDF print-ready?
No. Size, bleed, embedded fonts, images and the printer’s requirements must be checked. An on-screen preview does not establish production readiness.
Who approves content before production?
A nominated client contact approves the final file. Copy, contact details, prices and page order should be checked separately. Language proofreading needs an agreed scope.
What affects the typesetting cost?
Extent and readiness of material, page types, tables, languages and revision stages. Preparing files for different publishing methods also affects the scope.
