Prepress Services 101: From Pre Press Processes to Print Ready Files
Great prepress services reduce waste and delays. The goal is consistent print ready files that require no extra fixes on press.
Core pre press processes
- Color management (RGB → CMYK, spot handling)
- Bleed/safe margin setup & trapping checks
- Fonts outlined, links embedded, transparency flattening
- QA exports: press-ready PDFs + source files
Working with experienced pre press artworker teams or pre press companies ensures your brand gets repeatable results.
