Outsourced prepress and print file preparation for printers, publishers and brands. We preflight, correct and rebuild your artwork — color management, bleed, trapping, ink limits, die lines and white ink — and deliver press-ready PDF/X files that print right the first time.
Whether you are a commercial printer with a prepress bottleneck, a publisher preparing a catalog, or a company with only an old scan of its brochure — we take the file you have and turn it into a technically correct, print-ready file that meets your printer’s specifications.
Professional preflight of print files: bleed and trim, image resolution, CMYK and Pantone spot colors, ICC color profiles, overprint, trapping, total ink coverage and transparency flattening — checked manually and with preflight software.
We rebuild print materials from scans, PDFs without source files, Word, PowerPoint or Excel documents and outdated formats — recreating the layout in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop with matched fonts and replaced images.
Photo retouching and color correction prepared for the press: balanced contrast and brightness, removed dust, scratches and unwanted objects, and accurate RGB to CMYK conversion that keeps brand colors consistent across print and digital.
Every print file goes through a full prepress inspection according to professional printing standards. Problems are found and fixed before plates are made — not after the print run.
Missing fonts and links, wrong page sizes, color modes and spot colors detected before production.
Correct trim size, 3 mm bleed, safe zones, crop and registration marks and color bars.
Images at 300 ppi at final size, so photos print sharp — never blurry or pixelated.
RGB to CMYK conversion and correctly defined Pantone spot colors for exact brand colors.
Correct output intent — ISO Coated v2 (FOGRA39), US Web Coated SWOP or your printer’s profile.
Black text set to overprint, rich black for large areas — no gaps or registration issues.
Shadows, glows and blend modes that print exactly as designed, without boxes or color shifts.
Ink limits kept within your press and paper specs to prevent smudging, drying issues and curl.
Precise trapping for offset, flexo and digital presses to hide plate misregistration.
Die lines and CutContour paths for packaging, labels and stickers, on correctly named layers.
White backprint for transparent, metallic and colored substrates — full or selective.
Separate layers for foil stamping, spot UV varnish and embossing, ready for production.
A 1,200-page plant catalog in four languages, restructured into a single Adobe InDesign master file — cutting plate count and print costs on every run.

Prepress is every step between a finished design and the printing press: checking and correcting files, managing color, setting bleed and marks, trapping and exporting a print-ready PDF.

Preflight is the final technical inspection of a print file — fonts, images, color modes, bleed, page size and ink coverage — done before the file goes into production.
