Database Typesetting
This is at the heart of our expertise – database and directory typesetting.
We can generate print ready pdf files directly from your database incorporating categorisation, indexing, listing enhancements and, of course, advertising. With several key advantages:
Speed
Once we have agreed the layout structure we can work together on all of the testing and
initial proofing using your 'test' data well in advance of publication. Only once we are
all happy with the results do we then need your 'live' or finalised data to go to the
final proof – right at the end of the process.
We then produce the pdf files so that you can go to press extremely quickly.
This allows you to continue to work on the data, or sell advertising space, right up to the last minute.
Independence
The print ready .pdf files that Dataset Media produce for you can be used by any commercial printer - not just us.
This gives you complete independence to have your publication printed wherever you choose.
Lower Printing Costs
Since you are free to choose whichever printer you want you can get the benefit of any volume
discounts you have agreed with your usual printer.
Equally you gain the freedom to revue the market and get the best value.
While we naturally hope that you will also consider printing with us the key is that you are no
longer restricted to any one printer just because you need specialist data handling.
The printing industry is a buyer's market at the moment so make the most of it!
Expertise
Just because you are free to choose we won't leave you to fend for yourself though. We are
happy to liaise with your printer throughout production and even handle the distribution, warehousing
and mailing for you if required.
Printing
The big advantage of working with us to produce your directory is that you are not tied
to a particular supplier for the printing just because you need the specialist data related services.
We do, however, hope that you will consider letting us print for you as well.
You'd certainly be in good company as we print directories, timetables and catalogues for some of the UK's
leading publishers.
From a handful of copies for a conference to several hundred thousand copies we can offer excellent
quality, fast turnaround and very competitive pricing.
