Typesetting / Keyboarding
All forms of author provided manuscripts or files showing editorial markings and queries may be submitted. The content can range from straight text to complex math, chemistry and tables. When files are not available, Matrix can provide keyboarding services.

Pagination of all elements
Typeset files and art files are electronically paged using the Macintosh platform. Our experienced desktop specialists follow supplied guidelines, creating pages from simple one color to heavy four color designs in Quark XPress and Adobe InDesign. Matrix also maintains software for the PC platform.

Proofreading
With many years of experience, our proofreading staff will follow all publisher guidelines, ensuring accuracy and consistency against publisher supplied materials, and querying anything questionable. Depending on the need, Matrix can supply all forms of proofreading—from a quick scan of text, to word-for-word proofreading. Quality control is our expertise, from one word on a manuscript to final PDF files.

Distribution of proofs
Our shipping department uses an electronic tracking system, paying attention to all your shipping requirements. Four color, two color and black and white proofing is available, printing to 8-1/2 x 11 or 11 x 17 paper. We also post electronic files for many of our customers.

Creation of final printer PDF files
Following printer and publisher supplied specifications, Matrix can supply application, Postscript and/or printer PDF files. These files can be emailed, burned to CD, DVD or posted to specified FTP sites according to the publisher’s request.
