The Prepress Department processes the input files received from customers and gets their approval on either hardcopy or softcopy proofs. These processed and approved files are used to make plates which act as the master copy for the copies reproduced.
The Prepress Department processes the input files received from customers and gets their approval on either hardcopy or softcopy proofs. These processed and approved files are used to make plates which act as the master copy for the copies reproduced.
Proofs are then sent to the customer in either softcopy (PDFs through email/FTP) or hardcopy (colour-calibrated inkjet proofs) for their approval. Our proofing system consists of Epson proofers driven by the award-winning GMG ColorProof software. The proofs are colour-calibrated to give a close match to the results achieved on our offset presses.
Once the proofs are approved, the files along with the approved reference proofs are sent to the output team to make plates on our Computer-to-Plate (CtP) systems. The Esko Graphics Scope workflow is used for RIPping, Trapping, Imposition and 1-bit TIFF output. These are output on Creo Trendsetter and Screen PlateRite CtP systems.
The final approved files are also archived on completion of the project. We maintain a fully backed up archive of jobs for over an year. Should the need arise to reprint or repurpose the data, the customer can rely on Pragati’s data repository.
