Sometimes older graphics exist only on art boards. When these graphics need to be included in electronic layouts, we will scan hardcopy images and diagrams at resolutions up to 1200 dpi. Our artists will also "clean up" the scanning image, including blanking out text included in the scanned graphic, straightening lines, adjusting shading and removing imperfections.
Lyric Multilingual Publishing Services handles more than one million pages of publishing every year, right from technical documents to training manuals. Multilingual publishing should convey the same message and identity as the original for the client. Irrespective of the language and the type setting challenges these languages have.
Lyric multilingual publishing services have a team consisting of a creative director, art director and lay our artists who have advertising agency experience. Each team has handles at least 1000 pages of pagination every week.
