Our prepress team is equipped with cutting-edge Mac systems, along with Adobe Creative Cloud and Esko software. Automation, in conjunction with firm QA policies, ensures that we minimize our potential for human error and that our imaging is consistent from prepress to plating.
Our prepress & automation services include:
3D Proofing for Corrugated
Corrugated printers can take advantage of this useful tool, which renders a preview of the box folded up with its artwork. Available as an interactive PDF or via web-based digital proofing.
Web-Based Digital Proofing
Digital proofs are rendered and made accessible via web browser. The proofer receives a link and can then perform various tasks and submit approval on digital proofs, all from within the web browser.
Barcode Generation
We create barcodes based on your printer’s capabilities, so you can rest assured that the final product will scan high-grade without issue.
Color Management
Our color management department consists of several tools to ensure accurate color profiles are created for each press we produce plates for. By “fingerprinting” each press, we are able to adequately predict the color our plates will produce when they are used in print production.
Our Color Management Services Include:
Contract Proofing
Using either a custom profile created from your press fingerprint or an existing standard such as GRACoL or SWOP, contract proofs provide a consistent color target for your production environment. ASK US about getting started with a press fingerprint!
Halftone Proofing
Halftone proofs, also referred to as dot proofs, simulate the screening of the plates we will produce. This can be especially useful to show the effect of screened dots on an image prior to production for low line screens (110 lpi and below).
Extended Gamut
We now offer extended gamut press profiling and plates to be used in conjunction with 7-color process printing. This process helps eliminate spot colors, reducing ink, plate and setup costs, while maintaining high-quality print.

PLATE MATERIALS
We support the following 50” x 80” plate materials and keep them on hand:
