Typesetting
Typesetting involves the presentation of textual material in graphic form on paper or some other
medium. Before the advent of
desktop publishing, typesetting of printed material was produced in print shops by compositors working by hand, and later with machines.The general principle of typesetting remains the same: the composition of
glyphs into lines to form body matter, headings, captions and other pieces of text to make up a page image, and the
printing or transfer of the page image onto paper and other media. The two disciplines are closely related. For example, in
letterpress printing, ink spreads under the pressure of the press, and typesetters take this dynamic factor into account to achieve clean and legible results.
