Pre-Press

Latest software, hardware and CTP technology for the highest quality output.

All client work is output to colour proofs that are accurately profiled to the printing press, so approvals can be made with confidence. A pre-flight checking system eliminates file errors and differences between digital proofs and the final printed job.

Client print files are stored and backed up to secure hard disc storage and offsite backup servers for a minimum of three years. Reprints or file updates are easily restored and processed at no additional cost.

All PC and Mac software packages are updated to the latest versions to keep up with client file formats. We handle data transfer via FTP, download software and fast broadband, and offer full asset and data management storage on our secure server.
