Many printing problems originate at the prepress stage,
even though they only become visible on press.
Why Prepress Matters
Artwork that looks correct on screen
may still cause issues during production
if press behavior is not considered.
Our prepress process focuses on reducing press-side corrections
by addressing potential issues before plate making.
What We Check
Before proceeding to plate making, we review:
- Resolution and image quality
- Trapping and overprint settings
- Black handling and separations
- Potential issues affecting dot behavior
Color & Curve Management
Color consistency is not achieved by files alone.
We work with curves and tonal behavior
to help improve repeatability across production runs,
reducing the need for repeated press adjustments.
- Improved consistency between repeat jobs
- Reduced color variation on press
- More predictable production results
Designed for Production Reality
Our approach is built around how jobs run on press,
not just how files appear on screen.
This helps printers achieve more stable results,
especially for long runs and repeat orders.
