Our business is based on Mac OS X, currently version 10.7 (Lion).

We have around 20 high-performance Mac workstations on our internal network, all with the usual office software such as Microsoft Office 2011 and Acrobat Pro. Our copy-editors use an extensive suite of custom-written Word macros to complement the work of on-screen editing.

We also use Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and specialist software such as Oxygen XML Editor, BBEdit, MathType, Fetch, Nisus Writer Pro and RapidWeaver.

If you require us to use Windows-specific software, please bear in mind that Macs are quiet capable of running Windows if necessary, either natively (using Boot Camp) or virtually (using software such as Parallels Desktop).

Our IT resources include:

  • high-quality, high-speed, A3 and A4 colour proofing
  • document scanning in colour
  • high-capacity fileserver with offsite backup
  • email server and shared calendar servers to support group working
  • clever, resourceful techie elves and a small toy dachshund with a nodding head.
