Production Narrative

by B. Chaplin

Because of the innovative nature of the book, it was decided with consultation with the VSW staff to use an equally innovative production process. It was decided the book would utilize a then relatively new ‘on-demand’ print process. The text and images were laid out on a Macintosh computer using the software program Quark Xpress®. The files, including the complete layout instructions were transferred to a Zip disk, then printed and collated on a sophisticated Xerox printer employing a computer interface. [Xerox Docutech].
