PRE-PRESS AND DESIGN

Pre-Press

Focus Press utilises an integrated digital workflow allowing seamless transition between all processes. The Kodak Prinergy Workflow includes:

Online file delivery

The Insite Prepress portal offers the advantages of online job submissions and approval 24 x 7 on any web browser. This innovative and efficient technology works alongside our own hosted FTP server, weblinks and the multitude of other data vehicles that are found across our client base. High-speed cable connectivity, both in- and out-bound, provides system users with a solution that is concise and effective.

Using a web browser any client anywhere can create upload and approve a job with the peace of mind that all stakeholders have been automatically notified of the job status.

Automated work templates process and notify the people that need to know immediately following the receipt of files.

Digital Asset Management

An extension of this portal is Insite Storefront which caters for online ordering, catalogue hosting and digital asset management. Ideal for repeat or standardized work; it reduces cycle time and frees up staff at both ends with its built in system intelligence.

Proofing

We provide proofing solutions that cater for all needs. Colour management across all proofing devices is carried out with the latest XRite measurement tools and software. Our ISO 12647-2 Colour Management system ensures that the colour of your proofs matches the colour of your finished product, each and every time.

Epson and Canon wide format inkjet devices provide proofs that are verified to ISO tolerances for both coated and uncoated paper scenarios. We also offer hard copy proofs that are produced on our Canon Imagepress that are output and bound on the same stock as the intended printed product. This is a unique solution that is integrated with our prepress workflow and offered to provide our clients with the closest simulation of the final result that we can.

Design

We provide an in-house design studio where we offer art direction and design services. Our creative specialists excel in delivering timely, innovative and effective design solutions to our clients.
