Rose City Label PrePress: What’s It All About

Prepress is the term used in the printing and publishing industries for the processes and procedures that occur between the creation of a print layout and the final printing. Another way to think about this is; what happens from the Conception (creation) of your Label Idea to the physical Printed Label.

The Prepress Procedure includes adjustment of images and texts or and the creation of a high-quality print file for digital or traditional press printing, as well as the manufacture of printing plates. In today’s prepress shop, the form of delivery from the customer is usually electronic, either a High Resolution PDF or application files created from such programs as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, or other professional graphic programs.
