Digital Prepress Primer, by Joseph Marin, has been published by PIA/GATFPress. Designed to offer a broad overview of the digital prepress industry for newcomers as well as experts, the book follows a user-friendly format and can be read straight through as an introduction to the industry or can be kept close by as a reference tool, the publisher reports.


'Prepress has undergone many changes over the last 20 years,' says Marin, senior prepress technologist/instructor for the Center for Digital Printing Excellence, the prepress training and production facility located at PIA/GATF headquarters in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. 'We have moved from a hands-on, craft-oriented method of producing work to an all-digital hardware and software-based workflow. Keeping up with all of the changes in prepress is an ongoing battle for everyone involved in print production.'


The book covers topics including:


— Document design and typography;


— Color specification;


— Desktop publishing software;


— Color theory, reproduction, and management;


— Digital image files;


— Graphic-arts workflow;


— Common imaging file formats;


— Preflighting;


— PostScript and RIPs;


— Digital trapping and imposition; and


— Quality control.


Price of Digital Prepress Primer: $30.
