Pre Press Capabilities
First of all, we've got great prepress employees. Hard working,
knowledgeable, dependable, problem solvers ... they are absolutely
great at their craft.
Without them, all of our fancy equipment would be worthless.
Our Equipment
-
A Bunch of Macs and PCs
- Nexus Total-PDF Workflow
- Linotype-Hell Topaz I scanner
- AGFA Grand Sherpamatic inkjet imposition proofer
- HP Z2100 color proofer
- Fully automated Fuji Javelin Thermal CTP platesetter
The Nuts and Bolts
- Our prepress is completely digital, from computer to plate.
- We have a state of the art prepress system called Nexus Total-PDF. It is the necessary backbone of our entire digital prepress department. Nexus can either rasterize and trap pages or maintain layered, editable PDF files through the entire prepress process. Either way, a trapped and separated digital file is created for each page of your job, from which all proofs and plates are made. This ensures that the color and content of each page will remain consistent from proof to plate to press.
- We have Macintosh and Windows workstations running InDesign, QuarkXPress, PageMaker, and many other software applications. If you send us files we can't process, we'll call you and offer solutions.
- Need scans? No problem. We have a Linotype-Hell Topaz scanner for high quality image capture.
- We can do PDF proofs for preliminary approval or super rush jobs.
- We have an HP DesignJet Z2100 with built in spectrophotometric calibration for accurate contract color proofs.
- We have an AGFA Grand Sherpamatic for dual-sided, full color imposition proofs that show final trim, fold, and binding.
- We have a fully automated Fuji Javelin thermal platemaker for super consistent color and precise registration on press.
At Bison Printing we have the equipment and expertise to make even
your most imaginative project work, but sometimes things may get
tricky. The key to a seamless transition from your files to the
final product is communication. Not everyone runs the same type
of computers and software. You talk to us, we talk to you, and together,
over time, we establish the best way for you to supply your files.
Many production considerations often come into play that our customers
need to know about. Addressing these issues saves time, money, and
headaches.
