MAPSystems has years of experience in creating print-ready books that are formatted and typeset to meet your unique requirements. We consider even the minute typesetting details and carefully select the typography, fonts, kerning, tracking, and leading to portray the theme and feel of your content. Our print layouting and typesetting services include:
Our experts create attractive chapter openers and drop caps to captivate the readers’ attention. We also incorporate images or graphic design text into the book to maintain consistency and uniqueness.
Our graphic design team creates interior layouts, book illustrations, and eye-catching cover pages in the most outstanding manner, keeping in mind the clients' requirements and specifications.
According to modern typesetting, the font can say a lot about the author’s style and taste. We can make changes with the aim of creating a proper typographic hierarchy that can attract the attention of the target audience.
We take all possible steps to ensure data accessibility and visibility. Our team of subject matter experts makes use of the alt text command to help users provide alternative information if they can't view the image, following WCAG accessibility standards.
We can insert running headers and footers to help readers easily navigate through the paginated document. We can also add graphics or content as per the clients' requirements in the most appropriate manner.
Our book typesetters make use of bullets and lists according to the demands of the text as well as the style. Whether you need the writing to be formal or informal, our team has the knowledge to make it just the way you want.
Finally, we carry out proofreading to correct errors related to typography, style, format, font, hyperlinking, etc. We then perform a multi-level quality assurance (QA) to ensure that the final output meets our clients’ needs.
We also carry out multilingual typesetting services for more than 20 languages that include the RTL language Arabic. While typesetting foreign language texts, we ensure that the design elements are placed as per the rules and conventions of that language, supporting publishing standards.
