Template Creation/Design

Every book goes from the concept development stage to the binding
stage. Once the concept is finalised, the template has to be created.
At SIS Softlab, we have a multitalented team which realizes the concept
development rules in the client specified prepress software.
Template creation/design includes:
Setting up the page layout (recto/verso)
Creating master pages and including the headers and footers
Writing scripts to define every element given in the project
specifications
Creation of styles for formatting the content
All templates designed go through client reviews. During this
process, the client is actively involved with the team to ensure that
the template is created to the total satisfaction of the client.
Page Composition and Typesetting
At SIS Softlab, we compose pages utilizing a cutting edge technology. We
would also soon be implementing technological services that would
allow the client to update and preview the composed pages via FTP.
Page Production

SIS Soflab understands that each client has unique
requirements. Our prepress services strive to deliver pages that are
designed to suit the client's preferred output media. We are also

We, at SIS Softlab have an excellent data entry team which is involved in
delivering quick, accurate, and efficient output when data conversion
fails or is not an option. Keying can be single or double.
