Prepress

1. Design Software – Creative Suites 3 – Creative Suites is a collection of graphic design development applications that has rooted itself as the industry standard. The collection consists of Adobe’s applications: Photoshop, Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator that are based on various Postscript, PDF, & Flash technologies.
2. VDP – XMPie – (Digital only) XMPie is a revolutionary variable data software that was created with a vision to integrate the world of print and electronic media and make it easier for customers to obtain personalized communications. With XMPie solutions, effective personalized communication becomes not only a high response rate proposition, but also a cost-effective business strategy with an attractive ROI (Return On Investment).

   Our software allows us to unite customer databases (such as an in most business contact lists and Excel files) and creative content to help create multiphase campaigns using PostScript or PDF as the foundation. Such object oriented VDP computing technologies are critical for achieving non-compromising creative capabilities. With XMPie, highly creative works that desktop publishing enable can now be achieved in variable data publishing jobs.

3. File Management Software – Freeflow Manager – (Digital Only) Freeflow Manager is a software that works hand –in-hand with the Print Interface to accurate manage and automate prepress activities such as the file RIP, imposition, job details, color adjustment, etc; thus, increasing the operation’s overall efficiency.
4. File Management Software – Prinect Signastation – (Offset Only) Signastation performs automated imposition, integrating individual pages composed in a graphic design application into complete printing flats ready for imaging for offset printing. This eliminates delays and potential errors associated with manual stripping, saving time, reducing cost and enhancing quality.
5. File Management Sotware – Prinect Metadimension – (Offset Only) MetaDimension uses the Adobe PDF Print Engine in order to render PDF files directly and process transparencies with unprecedented reliability. Not only does it speed up RIP processes, it also significantly boosts their efficiency. In addition, the classic Adobe PostScript Interpreter is available for conventional job processing. The double RIP configuration therefore creates the perfect conditions for reliable production with maximum flexibility
6. CTP – Surpasetter-
   CTP is an imaging technology used in the modern offset printing process. In this technology, an image created in desktop publishing (DTP) application such as Adobe Creative Suites, and is output directly to a printing plate. This compares with the older technology, computer to film (CTF), where the computer file is output onto a photographic film. This film is then used to make a printing plate, in a similar manner to a contact proof in darkroom photography.

   Our Suprasetter A75 holds several advantages over conventional platemaking. Our CPT system allows for pin-point registration and only one generation of image transfer, thus eliminating the time needed the CTF film process, while dramatically increasing sharpness up to 2400 DPI (Dots Per Inch), consistency and detail. CTP avoids potential losses in quality that may occur during the standard computer to film process, including scratches in the film and variations in the exposure. The Suprasetter A75 usually has an accuracy rate of +/-2%, and can also improve registration and image-to-edge repeatability over traditional methods.
