Apple LC 550 manual Apple Publishing System

The Apple Publishing System

This Apple manual was written and edited on a desktop publishing system using Apple Macintosh computers and QuarkXPress. Proof pages were created on Apple LaserWriter printers and on QMS and Tektronix color printers. Final pages were output directly to separated film on a PostScript™-driven imagesetter. Line art was created with Adobe Illustrator. Cover art was produced with Adobe Photoshop. Screen shots were created and modified with system software, Exposure Pro, Aldus SuperPaint, and Adobe Photoshop.

Text type is Apple’s corporate font, a condensed version of Garamond. Ornaments are custom symbols designed for Apple Computer.

PostScript, the LaserWriter page-description language, was developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated.
