Translating your artwork - consistently and accurately
We can provide high end, quality PDF artwork for
websites, presentations or for straight to print use. Rather
than just translating any text that is present in the document,
this specialist service checks that the layout is going to suit its
final purpose.
All we require from you is the original source PDF so that we can
make sure there are no corrupted characters present, all graphics
are accounted for and all text is accurately translated. We
will run comparison throughout the process to ensure the end
document contains all the information that was present in the
original.
What are the options?
We offer two different bands of DTP:
- Band 1 - Includes typesetting following the
instructions given to the typesetters (and any customer-specific
instructions)
- Band 2 - Includes typesetting following the
instructions given to the typesetters (and any customer-specific
instructions) and a DTP QA stage (following a list of standard DTP
QA checkpoints as well as any customer-specific ones)
What does it cost?
Both of these options include one set of customer amends
but any additional sets of amends will be charged at our standard
hourly rate, which a member of our sales team will happily discuss
with you.
Before we start the project we'll analyze the PDF and ask
you a number of questions that may include:
- What are the required deliverables? For example,
print-ready PDF only.
- What artwork package was used to create the source files and on
PC or Mac?
- Are there any specific settings such as a bleed area that we
need to be aware of?
- Are there specific fonts that we will require access to?
- Do graphics require localizing for a particular geographic
market?
It's also worth being aware of the fact that text
generally expands when it is translated, so we may have to adjust
the font size and line spacing in order to make your text
fit. Once again, this will all be explained to you before
commencing any project.
