We employ a state-of-the-art prepress facility. Our goal is to quickly produce exquisitely accurate proofs for our customers to approve and then use our CTP (Computer to Plate) technology to ensure that what gets approved is what gets printed. Our infrastructure includes:
- Macintosh G5 Servers and Mac workstations with 24" color-corrected monitors
- Optical disk silos for fast access, secure storage and file backup
- Internet connectivity with "fiber to POP" speeds at T-1 plus speeds and route diversity from multiple ISPs to protect us from service interruptions.
- Epson 7 color, 63" wide color proofer and Agfa Sherpa proofers deliver professional quality proofs
