Pre Press
Pre-press is a critical part of every print project. We have designed our pre-press department with the greatest possible flexibility to handle almost any file format. Our pre-press department is centered on the Rampage workflow, allowing us to accept PC, Mac, and PDF files from any professional application. Rampage processes your files only once, regardless of the output device, so you can be sure that the result is always the same. With this system, it is impossible for type to jump or re-wrap once you have approved a proof. Rampage's integrated flight check system also allows us to address potential file problems early, saving you crucial production time and the cost associated with fixing problems later.
Our web-based file upload system allows you to send us your electronic files through any web browser. Uploading files, as opposed to sending a CD, can take days out of the production cycle.
Our Epson 7600 digital proofing solution uses 7-color, ultra-chrome ink technology to provide you the most accurate digital proof possible. If your job is not color critical, or if your timeline does not allow for sending you a proof, we are always happy to e-mail you a PDF to review. Our pre-press department includes a high-end Topaz CCD scanner and several retouching stations, staffed by experienced craftsmen, to help bring even the most difficult ideas to life.
The backbone and workhorse of our pre-press department is our Fuji Javelin Thermal Platesetter. When combined with the Rampage work flow, this system allows us to make high quality thermal plates directly from your approved digital files, saving you both time and money.
We also have an integrated archiving and Digital Asset Management system that allows you to easily rerun, update or repurpose any of your jobs or electronic files.
