Desktop publishing (DTP) software allows the user to produce printout in the style of a newspaper . That is , in columns with pictures and other graphics . DTP is run on a microcomputer system with a laser printer for high quality , fast printout . The computer should have a large hard disk and a large amount of memory . A high resolution monitor with a 21- inch screen is recommended for easy working . A scanner is needed to import photographs and possibly a video digitiser to capture video images .
DTP software can be thought of as integrated word processing and graphics, with additional features to enable pages to be laid out in columns and illustrations to be inserted . A facility to import photographs and video images is also provided .Often DTP software has only basic word processsing and graphics facilities . It relies on the user making use of word processor and graphics software to prepare documents and illustrations before importing them into the DTP software . Its strength is in providing the structure to manipulate documents into columns or rows , and to cut and position graphics as required
