“The new technologies in the graphic arts offer fresh opportunities for new and exciting approaches to creative typography never before possible. Your standards of quality, [and] your typographic vision will change."  These two booklets intended as a primer, summarize some of the outstanding features of this new photographic typesetting process. There is some duplication of content and illustrated examples between both booklets.
