We absolutely love working with books. It's always been the back bone of Hilite Design and we have worked with many of the worlds leading publishers.

No project is too big or small for us and we are happy to be involved in any stage of the book production process. Graphic design, typesetting and page layout, optical character recognition, scanning, colour retouching, figure and map drawing, amending files and file problem solving, through to PDF and ebook production. We can even source high quality, reliable, competitive printing from trusted sources.

Using fresh and creative design, we will not only make your book look and feel attractive but also help it to sell with a striking visual cover that will look good on book shop shelfs and online market places.

Have you ever had the need to reproduce previously printed material where the original litho films or digital data have been lost? Well we can re-screen, re-artwork and bring your printed colour or mono work back to life in digital form. Believe it or not it’s been said many times over that we actually improved upon the original. Book reformatting and collected studies are a speciality.

Rare book scanning and make-up is also a service that we specialise in. Without harming the book pages or breaking the spine, we can carefully scan using book scanning equipment to very high resolution and assemble the book to be reprinted or just archived digitally.

If required we can reformat, adjust margins, replace pages, assemble collections of articles from different sources, carry out amends, scan additional graphics or enhance existing, OCR the text. We can then supply back in various formats such as PDF, Word, InDesign, Quark, Tiffs etc. In fact we can usually find a solution to suit most destinations.
