If it’s from a design studio, yes. If it’s from a printing plant, no. Printing plants do not set type or do layout anymore. They’re sent Quark, In-Design, Photoshop or Illustrator files.

I’ve previously posted that the D700 brochure looks real to me, but I just noticed something in the body copy that mentions the AF-51 point: there’s a widow: at the fourth line from the bottom it says “Nikon system’” at the end of the line and the “s” (as “system’s) on the next line. This is a violation of all proper printing conventions.

Someone else posted on another site that it’s unusual for Nikon to left justify the text – it’s usually full justified.

This is either really lousy typographic design or it’s a fake. The problem is that there’s no home printer that I know of that can print something that large, which is why I originally thought it had to be real. I suppose if someone worked in an office with a large format printer, this could be accomplished to look like it was coming off of a printing press.
