Graphics/Prepress


Our Graphics Department is responsible for preparing artwork for placement into pages. We can work with materials prepared in Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, and Quark, and can convert most Microsoft Word charts and graphics to Illustrator. We can also convert PDF graphics to Illustrator or Photoshop (depending on file type), and we handle scanning of photographs and graphics in high resolution for final use or low resolution for FPO purposes.

New graphics are created in Illustrator (unless the customer requests use of another program), either by inhouse staff or, for larger projects, by freelance artists.

Our Prepress Department uses Enfocus PitStop to preflight all PDF files that we have prepared for the printer. Use of this program ensures that the files are printable and that all high resolution graphics, colors, and fonts are included. After this, we do a final check for correct running heads, first and last word on page, bleeds, trim sizes, and completeness of the file map.
