Nyomtatásban

Nyomtatásban is a Hungarian publishing term describing works that are currently undergoing the printing process. It is commonly found in bibliographic records and catalog descriptions to indicate that a title has progressed beyond the manuscript stage but has not yet been released to the public. The phrase can apply to books, magazines, journals and other printed matter and is often used to distinguish between material that is still in editing or proofreading and material that is already available in shops or libraries.

In practice, nyomtatásban denotes a production phase that includes typesetting, layout, proof reading, prepress, and the actual printing and binding of copies. The timing depends on the publisher’s schedule, printer capacity, and distribution plans. Once the copies are produced and distributed, the status typically changes to megjelent (published) or kapható (available).

With modern publishing, nyomtatásban may refer to traditional offset printing or digital printing, including print-on-demand arrangements, which can shorten the interval between the final manuscript and retail availability. The term remains useful for libraries, retailers, and bibliographic databases to communicate production status and anticipated release dates.
