Desk-top publishing: Current approaches and future trends

Abstract

In order to assess future trends in desk-top publishing (DTP), it is necessary to understand the problems encountered in today’s solutions. The environment addressed by this paper is the single-user interactive workstation for a business, technical or publishing professional. A local or shared low-cost printer is assumed. High-quality and high-volume printing is treated as a remote or an external function to which a document can be transferred in machine-readable form. © 1988, Palgrave. All Rights Reserved.
