Typesetting
All staff at Northpoint Printing Ltd are very aware of the importance of fast, accurate and completely secure typesetting; errors and delays can seriously affect the smooth running of financial documents and their related transactions. Therefore in order to remove any possibility of errors we utilise the very latest typesetting and proofing technology.
A great additional benefit of using Northpoint’s typesetters is that they can also work from your offices at time-critical moments, bringing their iBook Macs and software with them, so that instant changes can be made for Board approval without the need of to-and-fro proofing. The iBooks connect directly to our server, so as well as the assurance of continued high security, we also maintain a full audit trail for your records.
This remote service can save you valuable time and money as it greatly reduces the production stage. Your documents are signed off sooner and therefore printed or uploaded to your website faster.
Typesetting Security
We know it is very common for financial printers and typesetters to 'farm' the typesetting of financial documents out to trade typesetters - including those as far afield as India, Asia and the US. Northpoint will never do this as there is a very high risk that it will compromise security and confidentiality. Once a document has been transmitted to an outside agent there is very little real control over who might have access to it and what they might do with that sensitive information. Therefore once your document has been submitted to Northpoint not only will it be worked on exclusively at our offices in London EC3, we will also only ever transmit the document or parts of its contents to your named and approved working party individuals. At each stage of the proofing process we will supply you, if requested, with a fully audited distribution record for your document. We can also supply this electronically should you need to provide the information to UKLA and Companies House.
