TROUBLE-FREE PREMEDIA

In the printing business, you need quality input to get quality output. Creating quality input begins with the publisher. The better the input you send to your printer, the smoother your job will run and the more likely the end result will match your expectations.

Here are a few tips that will help you ensure the premedia and printing processes are trouble free:

  • Ask our premedia specialists to help you set up the proper colour profiles on the computer systems you use to create your layouts, and to calibrate your computer monitors. The right profiles and calibration will help ensure that the colour you get will be the colour you want.
  • Work with us to review your workflow and optimize the print files you send to us. This will simplify document handling at the premedia stage and minimize mistakes and corrections.
  • Convert documents to the Portable Document Format (PDF) standard for transmission to our premedia department. PDF files are the industry standard for premedia input. They enable us to use automated tools for trapping and document error correction.
  • If you are having trouble with your layout, communicate with our premedia department before the job is transmitted. Our experienced, publisher-friendly staff is always at your service. They can be your best friends when deadlines are lurking and issues need to be resolved.
