typesetting

typesetting Part of the printing process. In early printing, wooden or metal type was set by hand. In hot-metal type processes, the linotype machine casts a complete line of molten type metal into a mould, while the monotype machine casts individual letters and spaces and arranges these in lines. Most type is now set using photographic or computerized processes.
