Leisure Publishing Company is
committed to providing our clients with a top-quality product.
We invest in training, people and technology to help us not
only meet our clients' expectations, but exceed them. Here,
we'll show you some of the many tools and services we use in
our day-to-day operations to create these products.
We use industry standard, state-of-the-art
software. We
utilize cutting-edge
hardware as well. Our computer
operating
systems are the latest releases. All images that are
not customer-supplied, are purchased through
stock
photography companies or out-sourced to professional
freelance photographers. Our
web
development department uses the latest programming
techniques and software to give us and our clients a strong "Internet Presence." Our
website
statistics are reviewed every month to help us
fine-tune various websites. Other services such as Internet
hosting, DSL Internet connections, occasional drum scanning
and professional photography
is
out-sourced to pre-qualified vendors.
Leisure Publishing Company produces all publications on Apple Macintosh
computers. Our Art, Production and Editorial Departments are
equipped with Apple Power Macs – G4s, G3s and iMACs, which are
linked together through an internal Compaq Proliant server. Our system allows for
maximum speed, versatility and management of large graphic
files. We also use LaCie Electron 22 Blue
III monitors. Calibrated monitors assure that the color viewed
on screen is an accurate representation of the color you’ll
view on Iris proofs.
We allocate 118 GBs of storage on our server for management of
current graphic files. Leisure Publishing Company maintains CD
archives of all publications in-house, not at a remote storage
facility. These on-site archives allow immediate access to
graphic files or images, if necessary.
All files are supplied to print vendors as PDF (portable
document format) files on CD or transmitted directly to their
FTP site. All of our publications are produced using
direct-to-plate technology. Leisure Publishing Company is committed to
integrating the latest technology seamlessly into our
workflow.
