Established in 1971, Hope Services has gained a reputation for the quality of its work and its ability to produce titles with great efficiency. Succeeding technology over the years has seen us move from more basic systems such as VariType, with manual paste-up, through to today's usage of powerful Macintosh and PC machines, thus giving us a vast knowledge base, the foundation of our reassuring and experienced service.
Our clients range from large multi-national companies, for whom we have produced financial and technical reports, to individual authors, wishing to publish their first title (see self publishing section). In either case, we apply the same principles to ensure that the ultimate aim is achieved. Our work is carried out with the use of the latest generation of Apple Mac and PC equipment, along with the latest generation of software packages such as Quark Express (v8), InDesign and Illustrator (CS3), Adobe Photoshop and Acrobat.
We can also offer the following additional services which are often called for during production: Scanning of original artworkDrawing and setting of diagrams, graphs and tablesOCR or rekeying of textual matterHand paste-up of correction strips or new materialStylised reproduction from hardcopy |
