From JPEGs to non-editable PDFs and other electronically unreadable formats such as medical journals or yellow pages, we can work with all file formats, and achieve superior results.

5. Proofing

   Ensuring that the finished print is accurate is as important as the process of prepress. Since a proof is essentially a binding contract between you and the printer, we take extensive care to ensure complete correctness. Our quality team performs multiple quality checks to ensure that the final output is accurate and error-free. This thorough process confirms an accuracy rate of 100%, every time for every single proof.
