Our well-equipped Pre-Press Department operates leading-edge PDF workflow and is almost exclusively digital.
PDF is the file format of choice, although native application files can be accepted for most of the popular software packages.
Data can be transferred to us via a number of methods. Here are the most commonly used.
- HeadStart - An online flatplan file delivery system that enables the quick and easy supply of files, with the customer able to view ripped versions of their pages before authorising that pages and sections can be sent to press.
- HeadStore - A digital asset management system, enabling customers to search for past issues, images, advertisements and logos.
- HeadWay - a template-based web-to-print system. By integrating quotation, job creation, customisation, ordering, automated pre-flight reports, proofing, approval, printing and delivery, this comprehensive system simplifies production and order processes for both litho-printed and digitally printed pieces.
- Disk - CD and DVD. Most forms of file compression can be catered for.
- Email - Files can be supplied via email, to prepress@invicta-press.com. However, since it is common for files sent as attachments to be corrupted, we would advise that customers use one of the other suggested methods of electronic delivery.
