Marjoram Productions is highly experienced in all the elements of both design and production. We have worked with both small print houses and major printing firms including Transcontinental and R.R. Donnely, and are familiar with the real problems and advantages of all the following processes and materials:

• Binding
• Lamination (matte, gloss, unlaminated, and others)
• Spot Glossing
• Embossing/Debossing
• Specialty Papers and Paper Sizes
• 1, 2, 3, and 4+ color processes
• Transparent/Translucent Materials
• Plastic/Semi-plastic materials such as Kivar
• Dust jackets, trade paperbacks, casebound covers
• Metallic and pigment stamping
• ICC Color Management
• Professional scanning
• Film production, proofing, and prepress
• Video boxes, product boxes, CD boxes
• Typesetting

We can provide your designs in virtually any file type you need, even those we do not use natively. We can easily send you files on Jaz, Zip, CD, or via the Internet, and we take pride in packaging files with complete instructions and do extra manual preflight checks and cleanup to make sure that printers will not have compatibility, font, or output problems with the files we produce. Our software includes:

• Quark XPress 4.01
• CorelDraw
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe Photoshop
• Corel PhotoPaint
• Heidelberg ColorOpen ICC Software

We support many other file types as well, and can convert among them.

We have a high-speed Internet connection with three I.P. addresses, two domains, and approximately 1000 MB of FTP space. This means we can transfer very large files over the Internet to printers, service bureaus, and clients. We use our web site and FTP sites to communicate with clients and provide both online proofs and final file output, which saves considerable shipping charges.

One of our strengths at Marjoram is streamlining and packaging custom graphic design for the web. This means we not only make your site look good, we tailor our work for compact, fast loading pages. We are experienced in HTML, dynamicHTML for custom interfaces and dynamic content, JavaScript, and, particularly, web graphics. Our web design/production software includes:

• Macromedia Dreamweaver
• Fireworks
• FrontPage
• Acrobat/PDF production

Our strengths are with small to medium-size websites--we work well with database programmers and can provide content and design elements for ASP, PHP, Perl, SQL, and other scripters, but we do not provide these database/scripting services ourselves.

Marjoram Productions has a unique mix of print and digital expertise, the kind you will normally only find in a multimillion dollar design firm.We match the designs we produce to the spirit of your message, taking the care that you rarely get from impersonal design companies. While this approach is normally found only in the small shops of neighborhood craftsmen, our work has made its way into bookstores around the world, attached to the work of such authors as Neale Donald Walsch, Della Reese, Linda Goodman, to such companies as Putnam and the Refco Group. We have no marketing department; we feel our work speaks for itself. Whether you are an individual, a small publisher, or a large company with a design need, we will give you the kind of rare individual attention you would expect from a luxury dealer. But design is not a luxury, it is as necessary to your message as your message itself. A fine book is lost when it goes unnoticed in a bookstore. Fine content is lost when it goes unnoticed on the web. Don't lose your message. At Marjoram, we provide what is missing: fine design. Design is not an afterthought; it is the body that holds the spirit of your message. Fine design pays for itself in spirit, and pays for itself even more in sales. We provide luxury attention, but we do not charge luxury prices. The question is not whether you can afford graphic design. The question is: Can you afford to go unnoticed?
