Frequently Asked Questions

Skrivanek’s DTP specialists pride themselves on creating an easy path to excellent graphic editing and document production. One contact and you are set to move forward. Our team can convert just about any files into formats that make them easy for us to work with. And then what? We will:

• Adjust your document formats into the precise final form you want, by reproducing existing layouts or developing new ones.
• Create just the right color saturation, combination of fonts, and coordination of the final look.
• Get your DTP product print-ready and work with a printer in your region to convert those files to paper.

In addition, Skrivanek is a leading language service provider, and we can translate text when you require that. We also specialize in adapting DTP files for different cultures, countries, and demographics. This is essential for international companies who need to communicate in multiple markets; but the sophisticated skills and perspective that we have developed by preparing multilingual content can also be helpful to clients hoping to maximize the effectiveness of their connection with any customers, anywhere.

This depends on the scope of the documentation. To begin with, usually within three hours of your request we will propose a solution and rough price estimate. After that, completion time depends on the scope of the job. Progress of the workflow is something we will keep you informed about. And we will meet the deadline we set with you at the beginning.

Very carefully. We do a two-stage check during the selection process. At this point in time our specialists have been here for at least ten years and that says it all. They are reliable, experienced, and talented.

Our DTP Studio is managed by Jiri Proniuk and he oversees a team with varied talents and expertise. He coordinates our CAT (Computer Assisted Translation) experts, DTP specialists, and the OCR conversions we have done externally to incorporate into our workflow.

Yes, we can arrange top-notch printing. We routinely assign the final printing to printers in the regions where our clients are located.
