Prepress Services for Printing
Prepress is a critical step in successful print production.
Prepress technicians set the foundation for successful printing production. They ensure that the proper format, appearance, and layout of text and images are set before we go to press.
Prepress is the term used in the printing and publishing industries for the processes and procedures that occur between the creation of a print layout and the final printing. The prepress procedure includes the adjustment of images and texts or the creation of a high-quality print file, as well as the manufacture of a printing plate ready for mounting on a press. In today’s prepress shop, the form of delivery from the customer is usually electronic, either a PDF or application files created from programs such as Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, or QuarkXPress.
Our prepress team prepares your project with Kodak Prinergy EVO which delivers highly tuned, best-in-class output with state-of-the-art color management, screening and file refining capabilities that maximize quality and consistency, even on the most complex jobs.
