Prepress
In preparing your files for print, Datum’s Prepress department provides multiple checkpoints to ensure that everything is produced exactly as intended.
Datum works with all major software packages including QuarkXPressTM, AdobeTM InDesignTM, Adobe IllustratorTM and Adobe PhotoshopTM along with packaging software such as ArtProTM and other lesser known software packages.
The imposition and proofing system used during Datum’s prepress service ensures that your printed materials are an accurate representation of the artwork and fully reflect your intentions.
Datum’s prepress department has been so successful that we now offer a prepress service to other trade printers and organisations.
Prepress Services
Datum’s prepress services include:
Scanning
All our CMYK and RGB high resolution scans are produced using high quality scanners, delivering greater optical resolution, density, superior detail and colour.
Colour Management
From the moment the project is designed until the final printed copy, all the stages of the process are fully colour managed to ensure complete predictability and consistency with colour.
Creative Retouching and Colour Correction
We cover all forms of retouching. This can include combining separate elements, colour correction, image restoration or simply retouching an image to save an expensive photo re-shoot.
Preflighting
All client and in-house files are fully preflighted prior to print for trapping, colour profiling, RGB to CMYK conversion and font issues. It is only after these checks have been made that the necessary PDF standard is created.
Datum’s prepress services are well respected across the industry. For further information, please contact us.
