The quality of a press run begins before ink touches paper.

Our prepress workflow checks every file for the technical details that determine a successful result: resolution, colour profiles, fonts, bleed, trim, imposition and finish separations. Calibrated proofing helps keep colour consistent across devices and substrates.

Files for spot UV, embossing, foiling and varnishing are prepared as dedicated production separations, helping the press and finishing teams execute the approved design accurately.

Prepress workflow

Every file, production-ready.

Structured checks reduce surprises, avoid delays and protect both colour accuracy and finishing alignment.
