Often, printers using new technology must go to a number of different suppliers to produce a finished book. This can be time consuming and expensive, requiring a great amount of coordination, and in the end, schedules may not be met or quality may be lacking.

Publishers need a printer who can bring together all of the elements needed to finish a professionally produced trade book. By bringing all printing services under one roof, DeHART's monitors every step of the production process to ensure quality and meet deadlines.

DeHART's begins planning for the on demand process by consulting with the publisher to understand the publisher's business objectives and production requirements. Ten years of experience working with software publishers helps DeHART's generate new ideas, alternatives and creative solutions.

By supporting major layout, design and pagination software applications, and constantly upgrading versions, DeHART's can manage most desktop publishing projects. State-of-the-art scanning software process non-digital projects. Preflight tools and a library of fonts assist in preparing the files for printing.

Publishers can get quotes, submit jobs, access previously published jobs, and make changes - all over the Internet. A variety of communication connections are available, including modems, ISDN, DSL and T-1 lines, and DeHART's is testing soft proofing over the Internet.

To facilitate publisher's schedules, DeHART's offers service seven days a week, 24-hours-a-day. Specialized digital presses run almost 500 impressions a minute at 600 dots per inch; perfect for almost all books. High-quality offset covers, or digital color covers, are married with the text in the bindery that includes all the popular methods of binding. By partnering, DeHART's produces case bound books. The previously mentioned ISO 9002 quality control program checks the job at each step in the process to insure quality.

DeHART's services don't end with printing and binding. Publishers are kept informed about the progress and ship dates of their projects. Some publishers need shrink wrapping, drop shipments to bookstores and colleges, warehousing, distribution and fulfillment, and kitting. Publishers can track their deliveries via UPS and Fed Ex websites. Once the job is complete, digital files are archived for reprints.

DeHART's knows how important it is for publishers to get the complete job done and to be informed of any changes in the process. That's why customer service and communication is so important. DeHART's employees and managers go to great lengths to exceed the needs of the publisher.
