While laser printers offer +adequate quality for proofing and short-run publications, +higher quality is required for well-produced printed +publications. Typesetting provides this +higher quality, and, for users who have limited typefaces, +a wider range of options to improve the appearance +of their work. + +Having encountered the problem of typesetting from +\TeX, Abbey Information Systems has recently installed +a Linotronic 100 with PostScript RIP, software and +interface devices. This means Abbey can typeset +PostScript files from \TeX\ PostScript drivers, and +can also accept \dvi\ files for processing through a PostScript driver for +subsequent typesetting. Abbey is currently using \TeX\ and the Linotronic to +produce a 2000-page directory created on a database running on +a VAX 11/750. + +Abbey Information Systems is now offering a typesetting service +for all \TeX\ users whether or not they have a PostScript +driver. Part of the service of special interest to +\TeX\ users who are using mainframe and minicomputers +is that half-inch nine-track magnetic tape +can be read as well as floppy discs from {\sc IBM} pcs and +compatibles. Other media will also be accepted. +A direct dial-up service is also available. + +For more information, contact: +{\obeylines\parindent2em +Jon Maslin, +Abbey Information Systems Ltd, +Cochrane House, +Church Road, +Bookham, +Leatherhead, +Surrey KT23 3JP +tel: 0372 59577} |
