Every job that we handle passes through a critical pre-press stage. It is here that your material is meticulously checked and set up in readiness for transferring it onto printing plates. That is the policy at PPCB.
That is the policy at PPCB. At the pre-press studio your job will be printed and folded into a dummy for you to carefully check and approve or amend. Only after your final sign-off will it go on the press. This is for your and our assurance that you are completely satisfied.
The latest computer-to-plate technology ensures perfect first-generation image reproduction. The lithographic plates are automatically ‘exposed’ by computer ready for printing, but each is double checked by eye with a densitometer to ensure that the percentages of the primary colours – cyan ,magenta ,yellow , and black are – spot on before moving to the printing presses. The plates are baked to maintain pin-sharp reproduction during long print runs.
Platemaking takes place in two identically equipped rooms, to ensure uninterrupted production in this vital early stage of the printing process.
