Prepress Advantages
Pre-Flighting
Pre-flight is a period of checking your digital files for errors before a print run.
- Making sure the colors are in CMYK
- Checking for included fonts
- Looking at printer's marks like crop marks, bleeds, and margins
Proofing
Creating a proof is the most accurate way to determine the quality and accuracy of the finished piece.
- Ensure the client gives full approval
- Check your Pantone and CMYK colors for accuracy
Quality Control
Plates are made out of metal and are used to transfer images to the final substrate.
- After a plate is made it's time to run the job
- Our pressman inspect the print job during the run to ensure quality control
