Typesetting and printing for universities, publishers and cultural institutions

I pre­pare pub­lic­a­tions for uni­ver­sity presses, mu­seums, lib­rar­ies, as­so­ci­ations and found­a­tions: mono­graphs, aca­demic journ­als, ex­hib­i­tion cata­logues and an­niversary edi­tions. I work re­motely with in­sti­tu­tions across Po­land and Europe. I re­spond to re­quests for quo­ta­tion, fill in cost es­tim­ates on the cli­ent’s forms and can take care of everything from type­set­ting to de­liv­ery of the prin­ted run.

What I prepare for institutions

Monographs and edited volumes

I type­set to the pub­lisher’s guidelines: foot­notes, bib­li­o­graphy, in­dexes, tables and sum­mar­ies in other lan­guages. Where there are no guidelines, I pro­pose a con­sist­ent lay­out and show it on a few sample pages.

Academic journals

I build a fixed is­sue tem­plate and bring art­icles by many au­thors into one lay­out, with ab­stracts, keywords and au­thor notes.

Exhibition catalogues and albums

I pre­pare col­our-checked re­pro­duc­tions, cata­logue entries and lan­guage ver­sions, sched­uled around the opening.

Anniversary editions

I type­set books and bro­chures for the an­niversar­ies of schools, uni­ver­sit­ies and in­sti­tu­tions, in­clud­ing archival pho­tos and scan­ning of prints.

E-books and digital versions

I pre­pare EPUB, MOBI and PDF, in­clud­ing in­ter­act­ive PDF, for the in­sti­tu­tion’s web­site or repository.

Formalities I take care of

Requests for quotation

I re­spond to re­quests for quo­ta­tion and pre­pare the of­fer in the form the cli­ent requires.

Cost estimate forms

I fill in cost es­tim­ates on uni­ver­sity and fun­der forms, split into type­set­ting, print­ing and other items.

ISBN and legal deposit

I can ar­range ISBN as­sign­ment and dis­patch of legal de­posit cop­ies. The cost of this ser­vice is agreed indi­vidually.

Printing invoice

If you also or­der print­ing, the stu­dio in­voices it. You settle the whole pub­lic­a­tion with one con­tractor.

Project deadlines

I plan the sched­ule around the pro­ject or grant set­tle­ment date, so the print run is ready in time.

  3. Sample pages

    Before typesetting the whole publication I prepare a few pages showing the layout for the editors to approve.
