Online DTP o com                          ... publishing without borders

Online DTP.com is affiliated with GeeMac Stock Photos ( alias PrismCells.com ), which is registered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA) and based in Canterbury, Kent (UK), but we're a nomadic bunch of people who are just as likely to be found in northern France or even in New Zealand.

The best way to make initial contact is by e-Mail. We'll call you back if necessary, by telephone or Skype.

Online DTP.com is a NEW (2011) entity in name only, born of the internet era, but sporting a TON of real-world experience gained over many, many years and in several countries.

NOTE: 

Support for the CMS (Content Management System) which has been used to create these web pages for the past decade is being discontinued at the end of 2022. The pages will still be visible until the end of 2023, but it won't be possible to add any new content after December 2022.

Who We Are

QUI SOMMES NOUS

Geoff McIntosh, BM / IT - Proprietor  (& Chief Bottle-Washer!)

Before the Internet was born, he owned and ran Lexico-Graphix, a NZ-based DTP company which evolved into a Digital Non-Linear Video Editing business that created TV Advertisements, Music Videos, Animations, Documentaries, Training Videos, etc. in Australasia, China and Indonesia.

Annette Dow, BSW - Co-Owner                                                                                             

A New Zealander, Annette "happened" into the computer industry. Armed with a degree in Social Welfare, her pre-IT industry background included Probation Officer, Lecturer in Business Development &  Entrepreneurship, Lecturer on a Masters Business Management program and running her own company focused on the development of Training programs and Assessment & Development of senior business managers.

These days Annette “commutes” between the UK and the USA, with sporadic trips elsewhere, particularly France.

She also conducts Lectures in Australasia, advising Software Developers on the intricacies of "getting into" the U.S. market, while seeking out potential high-tech software products for worldwide distribution.

Concomitantly, Annette has been involved with DeskTop Publishing and Video / TV Program Production for some 30 years, particularly in the area of Aged Concern, for which she has a passion. For a number of years she created, produced and distributed (totally free of charge) an informative periodical called "Dignity", which was very popular within the Aged community.
