DDM Publications Prepress Services

You have an idea for a book, catalog, newsletter, or manual. We'll review your rough materials and discuss your preferences. Then we will discuss the guidelines, budget, and timetable with you.

Once the design is complete and the text is edited and proofread, we'll send you a proof copy for your suggestions and changes. You have complete control over the final product. When the proof copy is approved, we proofread it again, and then move it to the manufacturing phase of our services.

We can help publish anything, of any size, shape, or quality. Your options are limitless. We can help you with:

• Books, manuals, catalogs, brochures, newsletters
• Two-color matte finish covers through full color glossy covers
• Black-and-white, text-only items, full color photography, or anything in between

Give us your concepts and we’ll help you create a product you’ll be proud of. DDM Publications will do as little or as much as you desire; our jobs are customized for you. Some of the more common services we provide are listed below.
