Prepress Services

Advanced color separation and digital proofing to international standards

Comprehensive Prepress Preparation

Our prepress services include advanced CMYK color separation with full support for Pantone spot colors, plus trapping at 0.2mm width to ensure seamless color overlap and prevent white gaps from appearing. We also provide contract-quality digital proofing using inkjet printers with ICC Profiles for accurate simulation of final print results.

We operate according to the highest international standards including ISO 12647-6 for flexographic printing and FTA FIRST (Flexographic Image Reproduction Specifications and Tolerances) methodology. This approach ensures quality consistency across all production stages, from color separation through to final output, reducing waste and delivering reliable, repeatable results.

Prepress Process Stages

1

Color Separation (CMYK + Spot)

Analyzing the design and separating colors into CMYK process channels while precisely identifying and preparing spot Pantone colors to ensure accurate color matching.

2

Trapping & Processing

Applying 0.2mm trapping between adjacent colors to prevent white gaps caused by misregistration, along with file processing and optimization for flexographic printing.

3

ICC Profile Setup

Creating and applying custom ICC color profiles for each specific press and substrate combination, ensuring accurate color conversion and reliable simulation of final results.

4

Digital Proofing

Producing contract-quality digital proofs using high-resolution inkjet printers, providing accurate color simulation that can be approved as an official production reference.

5

Final Approval

Comprehensive review of final files with the client, confirming color accuracy and detail conformance to specifications, and obtaining approval before proceeding to production.
