The Technology Guides
The Digital Dots Technology Guides are written to inform prospective buyers and users of digital technologies for print media production applications. They contain objective, detailed and thorough explanations written in a lively and engaging style (mostly) by people who have spent many years struggling to understand technology, how it works and why.
The series includes straightforward explanations of how the technology works, how it is developed and what it's for. Each guide presents different aspects of the technologies and their relevance, cost benefits and contribution to digital production for cross media publishing.
The guides also cover market response and acceptance to diverse technologies, addressing related investment considerations for effective workflow development. Each guide has a summary of available technologies including new products coming onto the market, plus an overview of the decision criteria to consider.
