Common questions

How do I send a job?

Use the request form or email us with the file, or a short description of the job if the file is not ready. A person replies with what is needed before anything is set up.

Can you scan originals that are not digital files?

Yes. Photographs, illustrations and printed originals are scanned at the resolution the final print size needs, then cleaned up and colour-corrected.

Do you work with clients outside South Yarra?

Files travel by email or transfer link, so most pre-press work does not depend on distance. Ask and we will tell you plainly what can be handled remotely.

Will I see a proof before anything is printed?

Yes. A soft proof goes out for layout and text, and a colour proof when colour has to match. Nothing moves on until the proof is signed off.

How we work

File intake

Files received and logged with the job spec: size, stock, colours and the date the work has to be on press.

Scanning

Photographs, artwork and printed originals scanned at the resolution the print size calls for, then cleaned and colour-corrected.

File check

Fonts, bleed, resolution and colour space checked and corrected before a file is imposed.

Proofing

Soft proofs for layout and text, colour proofs when a match matters, and nothing goes further until they are signed off.

Plate-ready output

Imposed, plate-ready files laid out for the press and the sheet the job will actually run on.
