The pre-press process is the heart and soul of every printing job. Combining state-of-the-art technology such as hi-resolution drum scanning and excellence in Mac and PC file trouble shooting, with the experience of traditional film preparation and plating, our pre-press managers and operators have a thorough understanding what it takes to make your project successful one.

Colorlith’s pre-press department can bring your concept to life with complete desktop publishing design and layout capabilities, hi-resolution drum scanning and color proofing.

We work with you until your satisfaction is a sure thing, weather that means one proof or five. We believe in standing behind our work, and this is where it starts.
