Our internal, fully integrated electronic prepress capability delivers significant advantages to you in cost, turnaround time and accuracy versus using a separate outside vendor:

 When we get your artwork up front we can quote     your finished costs more accurately
 Understanding your requirements early on, we can     help create common elements that will save money     in films and plates, screens, set-up and final printing We can better priortize and schedule your job from     prep to press
 When a problem is detected on proof or press the     internal recovery time is significantly less
 Flexibility - we can change film format so that     two different press types can run the same label
 When you need to make a change discovered     during a press approval, we can provide new films     the same day
 Independence - you control approval and we control     film delivery without being dependent on an outside     firm's schedule or priorities
