Printing printed materials such as newsletters or brochures can be costly and time-consuming process. Luckily, there are many software solutions to streamline the process and make it easier for business owners to create aesthetically-pleasing, professionally-designed marketing documents in house. DTP (desktop publishing) programs are the most commonly used solutions for multipage documents like these and can be used to create single-page documents, such as posters, flyers, and business cards.
The best dtp programs can handle both print design as well as digital design. They include features such as predesigned templates and layouts to can speed up the process of creating of marketing materials. The programs also come with advanced editing capabilities, which include manipulation of images and text. They also enable designers to easily modify and format their designs to meet the needs of their clients.
Before the advent of DTP printing newsletters and similar documents for business was a time-consuming and expensive process. The technology revolutionised business by allowing firms to create their own marketing materials and brochures on their own, which cut down costs.
The most effective dtp software is available for a variety of price ranges and experience levels. For instance, Scribus is free and open source. Scribus is a powerful application designed to be user-friendly enough for beginners to learn but also includes professional-grade features. It supports CMYK and spot colours, ICC colour management, and the capability to directly create PostScript and PDF files. Serif’s Affinity Publisher 2 offers a new version of the renowned desktop-publishing software. It may not come with as many features as its competition Adobe InDesign but it still has plenty to offer.
