After you have your images prepared and are ready to handle digital color, the next step is to face the reality of the printing process itself. The following booklets from Agfa will help get you started.

Since AGFA Direct sells typefaces, it is natural that their booklet on this subject be almost twice the size of their others. But Agfa resisted making this into merely an ad for their own typefaces. Instead, this is a general introduction to typography. As such, it gets a "must buy" rating, in large part due to the format, what might best be called "European thoroughness." Everything in the book is well thought out, and flawlessly illustrated in full detail. Whether you are doing desktop publishing or suddenly faced with organizing a formal publication, this is one book you need right now. Besides, the price is right. 59 pages, $9.95
