Color Separation

Once the design is defined, it needs to be brought to life across various media. This is the process

where color is broken into sections and separated from the artwork with the use of specialized

software and machines which are operated by a team of specially trained individuals.

Digital Proofing

Color brought to life. The process involves hi-tech machines that run on sophisticated software

that prints the artwork/design on coated paper bringing out vibrant, accurate colors. This

process helps the client to identify the color and how it’s going to look on real print as well as see

the quality of images (photography) and overall layout of the artwork. The client normally makes

necessary changes at this stage before final print.

Quality Control

Quality and Productivity is what we stand for, we have a precise standard of measurement for every

job/artwork every machine and every process. Here, the finished artwork that has gone through

color-separation is thoroughly checked. This is one stage that needs a keen eyed specialist (hawk

eye). Just to name a few of the stages to meet the standard:

Density check of every film (color separation), Photography vs image quality

Typography vs font substitution, Artwork size vs distortion

And more
