Build the specification
We establish the format, quantity, paper, color and finishing. Page counts, folds and the way the piece will be used guide the choices.
Plan / Production process
From a file
to a finished stack.
Agree the print specification, check the artwork and approve the proof. Here is how your project moves from a file to finished copies.
The printing process
Four stages.
One agreed job.
Prepare the artwork
We review the supplied print file against the agreed specification and flag layout or production questions before the job moves forward.
Review the proof
The proof gives the project team a clear checkpoint for text, page order and layout. Physical samples or color proofs are agreed when they are needed.
Print, finish & pack
We print the approved work, complete the agreed folds or binding, check the finished pieces and pack them for the planned handover.
At each handover
Keep the decisions
with the job.
The specification records the format, quantity, paper, color and finishing. The approved proof identifies the version moving into production. Changes are discussed before they become changes to the finished work.
Proofs
and changes.
What is the proof for?
A proof provides a review point for content, page order and layout. The kind of proof is agreed for the job; a screen view alone cannot represent every paper or color characteristic.
Who approves the artwork?
The project needs a named person responsible for approving the final content and layout. We identify that responsibility before production.
Can changes be made after approval?
If a change is needed, contact the studio before assuming it can be included. Its effect depends on the current production stage and is reviewed with the project team.
