Pre-press
Our pre-press team is here to ensure your files are print-ready. They will review your files and confirm their compatibility with the paper type you’ve chosen. If requested, our specialists can make any necessary technical adjustments. Before proceeding with printing, you’ll receive a soft proof for approval, and upon request, we can also provide a hard proof for your review.
Calibration in accordance to ISO 12647-2:2013 standard.
To make sure that the colours match your design, the process of printing and making colour proofs has been calibrated according to ISO 12647-2 standard. The preparation of the colour proof and printing processes are monitored daily by spectrometers and PresSign software.
Please read our terms and conditions before submitting your files.
