How we work
From the receipt of the file, we preflight and check for:
-
Missing bleed
-
Correct rich blacks
-
Image resolution and file types
-
Other potential problems
Once we are finished the pre-flighting of the files, they are:
-
Ripped into our PDF based workflow
-
Converted into high resolution PDF’s
-
Automatically trapped
-
Reviewed and checked for accuracy
An imposition is created as per the bindery specifications, showing all the folding marks for the bindery and colour bars where required are placed. Pages are then:
-
Flowed into the imposition template
-
Output to a low-resolution proof
-
Checked against all the specs to the job
After everything is double-checked, the proof is:
-
Folded and trimmed
-
A high res, calibrated proof is produced for final colour approval
-
Plates are produced using Heidelberg’s new CTP-the Suprasetter
