Designed to help readers find the right components and set up the most cost-effective DTP system for their own needs, this guide provides reliable hardware and software recommendations for everyone from entry level users to professional designers and publishers. Readers learn how to buy and install: RAM chips, CD-ROM drives, graphics cards, printers, modems and faxes, hard and floppy drives, display systems, motherboards, scanners and backup systems. Step-by-step instructions are provided for achieving three levels of desktop publishing sophistication. Starting with a baseline system, it describes the hardware needed to produce quality documents with high-level word processing programs, with entry-level desktop publishing software and with applications such as PageMaker, Ventura Publisher and QuarkXPress. The text also lists mail-order hardware and software vendors and includes checklists for determining equipment needs and making low-cost upgrade decisions.
