Typesetting production 7 steps — from receiving client files analysis to delivery

When we receive foreign (multilingual) language typesetting projects, we'd normally ask our client to send in sample files for a quote. After going through file contents, estimating the cost and turnaround time, we then send out the quote.

When we receive client go ahead confirmation, the process starts:

  1. A typesetting task sheet will be issued with information and instructions for typesetters and proofreaders to work on the project.
  2. Checking files received from the client. This includes:
    • If the translated documents open and characters display correctly.
    • All the source files like fonts and graphics were received and they all work properly. Bitmap graphics are in CMYK mode and resolution is min. 300 dpi.
  3. Our typesetters will assign a Chinese type specification before starting a job, to ensure new typesetting document retains consistency as per original.
  4. First typesetting draft will be given to a proof reader along with the original document. The typesetter will make all corrections if there are mistakes made.
  5. When check completed the first PDF proof will be delivered to the client.
  6. After PDF revision feedback from client, the typesetter will amend the changes or corrections, until the final delivery is error-free.
  7. Then, the final typesetting projects will be completed and delivered to client.
