Prepress

On demand, we take care of the creative side of your printed matter; or you provide us with a complete layout on computer file in accordance with our indications which you can find on this website.

In our photogravure department your visual material is skilfully scanned on our high-resolution scanners, after which a digital Cromalin colour proof is made. Thanks to our own colour management system the Barco screens and the Cromalin proofing system are a perfect match with the printed result.

Our Heidelberg JDF Workflow automatically produces a pre-flight of the delivered files; the client receives ripped colour proofs on paper or by way of Remote Proofing (FTP).

When the client has approved those proofs, an imposition proof is made for internal control; after this additional phase, the plates are made on our CTP-installations.

We have two Heidelberg Computer-To-Plate installations, which are calibrated daily; in order to obtain optimum quality out of the visual material, specific graphs are used dependent on the paper, regardless of the prototype.

Moreover, both machines can flash with conventional and satin screens.

Thanks to the CIP3-support from prepress, the adjustment of the colours on the printing presses is guaranteed for 85%; the printer only has to fine-tune.
