Documents can be printed using a laser printer or other print processes. Documents produced using DTP software look like those produced on a conventional printing press.
In fact, modern newspapers and magazines all use DTP to produce the layout of their pages electronically rather than the traditional process of typesetting.
Modern DTP programs give designers full control over document layout, typography and color in a program that can be run on a basic computer. The software allows the user to design produce and deliver sophisticated documents that contain text, graphics and brilliant colors.
The graphical quality of documents continues to rise as DTP packages became more sophisticated. They provide opportunities to brand and package projects for the client or the intended audience.
