The prepress department in our printing house consists of highly trained personnel and special software programs. The company has bought the fully licensed versions of the Signa Station and MetaDimension programs (part of the Prinect workflow, developed by the company Heidelberg Druckmaschinen AG).
One of our main services is converting the files you provide us into files ready for printing. Your files have to be sent to the company e-mail- adress and have to meet a couple of special requirements:
In case you don't understand our file requirements or in case you still have difficulties before sending us your files, the printing house offers the oppurtunity to work individually with one of our employes from the prepress department.
In order to satisfy our customer needs we also offer some design services for optimization and improvement of the print quality. If you already have the files ready for printing then you might be interested in finding out how much a certain product would cost. In that case you could use the following inquiry.
