What is Desktop Publihing?
Desktop Publishing (DTP) is thc natura! evolution

emerging

this mptesenis thc merging of severat disciplines: typography, page layout dcsign, copy t-diting and publishing slcills

How do you evaluate loser printers?


Thc two camps in lasst printer are those with
pagc
dcscription lunguagcs and those wilhout. As the only page
descripon Ianguage that is prevalent a1 present is PostScript, the camps can be differcntiated asPostScript lasers
and nun-Postscript laser printers. The differences
amdramaticandthe oostofhaving thePosLsci-ipt languagc canalso
be dramaiic.

Postscript Lasers are tlie Standard in DTP. The rcason


why this is so is quite obvious whcn you compare tlteir
capabilitiesto thc fixod fontLasersliki-thel-lPLaserjotPlus.
A Postscript laserptintcr will print any fontsize
ofthethirty
five resident in thc laser printefs memory because
the font
isactually scaled from mafliematical coordinates. The fixed
font loser printers require a specific bit

font wbedownloaden toprint it. Mth tbeir
severe memory

Why is DTP revolutionizlng the typesettitig industry?


Typesetting has becn a weil guardcd technology; not
through secret incantations but through ootuse and complex
techniqm. A ty-pesetter rcquirod yeors o1 apprenticeship to
faihom tne ftner Operation and
mastety ol a particular
typesctter. Because nach company hada monetary incentive
to maintain (heit- equipment as an isolated
system every
typesetter wasadifferentltettlc of fislt. Now that Postscript
is evolving as a Standard in D'IP, wc foresee
that this
pressure fmm below, as it wer-e, will begin to malte this
industry a little morc coherenL
Why i5PostScript socritical?
Postscript. a page description language. is a means by
which whatcomes outofttie

does not address the nwls of the new user. Onc of thc most important tasks facixtg the
profeasional inslruclor is to help thc Student overcome bottlenecks and mget pasl common
stumblmg blocks. Particularly if them is an impomnt job to turn out onthe new Software,
