Abstract
This chapter focuses on a desktop publishing (DTP) system that allows a user to produce printed output of a quality comparable to that found in books. It has the facilities for mixing different type styles and sizes and adding in graphics all on the same page. In theory, it ought to be possible also to print photographs, but the state of the art is not yet sufficiently advanced. Desktop publishing has emerged as a computing application only within the past three to four years. The product that triggered the development of desktop publishing was the Apple Macintosh, launched in 1984. The Mac packaged together a high-resolution screen with a graphics-based user-friendly interface at a realistic price. It was followed by the Apple LaserWriter printer a year later.
