Seeing is Believing - The Proof is in the Proof
All jobs are pre-flighted to identify potential difficulties that may be encountered during actual printing. Using the customers’ parameters as a foundation, E.C.

Our proofs replicate the final printed package with great accuracy.

With our customized Esko WebCenter and databases, you have an interactive reference library of your proofs and a digital approval cycle. Proofs can also be hard copies, printed on a variety of substrates including Calibrated and Verified Epsons to meet GraCol, SWOP and G7 standards.
