When a book is to be printed, movable types are composed and put into a galley according to the original manuscript, then securely fastened. Typesetting is finalized after repeated test prints and correction of mistakes are made on the printing block. Typesetting is one of the most difficult tasks in printing. This task is done by a typesetter. It is such an important process that the typesetter’s skill determines the quality of the printed matter.
