Your Challenges

Streamlining the prepress process, even with late stage editing, is paramount to meeting customer demands and getting jobs out the door on time.

Key Challenges

  • Your customers want jobs turned around in hours rather than days
  • Integration of hardcopy and electronic files is difficult and can compromise the quality of the printed output
  • You have to turn down some work, such as custom tab programming, because you don't have the prepress capability
  • Tab programming in general is a complex, time-consuming, manual process
  • Tight registration and flexible imposition layouts require a lot of trial and error, wasting materials and production time
  • Managing copyright permissions for course packs is labor-intensive and complicated
  • Adding variable data and personalisation makes it difficult to meet short turn-around times without errors
