Desktop publishing (DTP)
Desktop publishing (abbreviation DTP, originally known as "publishing from the desktop") is the creation of documents using page layout software on a personal ("desktop") computer. This involves design, page layout, typography and typesetting in documents that contain text and images. Used for printed items, online content and all kinds of materials, it sometimes involves foreign language DTP.
